OpenAI claims a forced Navier–Stokes singularity from an unreleased system
On 8 September 2026 OpenAI published a 166-page writeup and Lean formalization arguing that smooth, finite-energy 3D Navier–Stokes dynamics with a smooth external force can blow up in finite time, which it says settles Clay statements C and D. The search model was an unreleased internal system; GPT-6 Astra did the Lean step.

An unreleased OpenAI system produces an unforced 3D Euler blowup
While probing Millennium problems in early September 2026, OpenAI says a multi-agent run of an internal model more capable than GPT-6 Astra produced a finite-time singularity for unforced 3D incompressible Euler in about 50 hours.
