Buckmaster is a policy-focused technologist shaping AI governance discourse.
OpenAI has published what it says is a solution to the Navier‑Stokes Millennium Prize problem after running roughly 10,000 internal AI agents for about 88 hours. The claim has provoked a dispute with NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster, who has questioned whether OpenAI’s work was accelerated after his and Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge’s AI‑assisted progress became known.
OpenAI has solved the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem, a Millennium Prize Problem, using a yet-unreleased AI model. The company says it has shown theoretical viability, while simulations have not indicated practical breakdowns in fluid dynamics.
