The Mathemagicians: Can AI Really Crack the Code? The news that OpenAI's models have supposedly solved one of mathematics' hardest problems, the Navier Stokes equation, has sparked controversy in the academic community.
At its core, the Navier Stokes problem is an old one: how to describe the behavior of fluids like air and water using differential equations.
It's a question that has puzzled mathematicians for generations, with significant implications for fields ranging from aerodynamics to medicine.
