# OpenAI vs. Navier-Stokes: When 10,000 AI Agents Tackle a Million-Dollar Math Problem

> OpenAI deployed 10,000 agents for 88 hours at ~$20M in compute, claiming finite-time blow-up in the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. If verified, this resolves a Millennium Prize Problem that stood open since 2000. The Lean 4 formalization is concrete. The priority dispute and training data questions are not.
