- The Navier–Stokes problem is among the Clay Institute’s remaining Millennium Problems, carrying a $1 million prize.
- Buckmaster and Alpöge published finite-time blow-up results for related fluid equations, not Navier–Stokes itself.
- Buckmaster said he asked OpenAI whether Codex sessions were accessed or used for training, but received no training answer.
- On September 8, OpenAI shared its proof, denied specific data access for solving it, but did not rule out de-identified training contributions.
I asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions in Codex, into which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this project. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about training, and I did not get an answer.— Tristan Buckmaster (via Mastodon post) describing his exchange with OpenAI about whether Codex had access to their drafts or training data.
