OpenAI says an experimental AI system solved a roughly 90-year-old mathematics problem in 88 hours, but the claimed breakthrough has sparked a dispute over research credit and the possible influence of customer data.

The Navier-Stokes equations describe how fluids move, from blood through arteries to air over airplane wings. The equations date to the 19th century, but since Jean Leray’s foundational work in 1934, mathematicians have debated whether initially smooth three-dimensional fluid motion can develop a finite-time singularity, with speeds growing without bound. The Clay Mathematics Institute offered $1 million in 2000 for proof either…
