navier-stokes

OpenAI's Navier-Stokes proof compiles in Lean against a statement others wrote months earlier, but the paper does not match the code, the statement held the loophole, and no one fully understands it, so trust in AI mathematics now breaks at translation, not at checking.

OpenAI says an internal model proved the forced version of Clay's Navier-Stokes problem and released a Lean certificate anyone can check, but the first day of reaction turned on what no certificate settles: whether forcing answers the real question, and who got there first.
