OpenAI says a 10,000-agent AI swarm made progress on the unsolved Navier-Stokes math problem, then admitted it "cannot rule out" that a mathematician's private Codex notes helped get there — though the mathematician says he isn't accusing anyone of anything. Real red flag for how AI labs use private data, or an honest coincidence?

In early September 2026, OpenAI announced its AI systems made progress on the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem using a ~10,000-agent swarm.
