What OpenAI's 10,000 agents actually proved about fluid flow

OpenAI said on 8 September that an internal model, running roughly 10,000 agents for 88 hours, produced a forced blowup construction for the Navier–Stokes equations and a machine-checked proof of it. On Moonshots with Peter Diamandis, the panel worked through what the result is — a statement about idealized fluids, not a device — what it cost, and why the credit for it was contested within hours.

How agent teams turned Fermat's proof into 13 million checked lines

On Moonshots with Peter Diamandis, a panelist interrupted an argument about AI regulation to read a headline off his feed: Anthropic had formalized Fermat's Last Theorem. Anthropic's report describes dozens of agents working eleven days, about six billion output tokens and 30,300 intermediate theorems — plus a piece of bookkeeping software that stopped runs from losing track of their own work. The panel's takeaway was about how to narrow enormous machine output into one result you can build on.
