OpenAI's Mark Chen says a Navier-Stokes-related math run equals a decade of progress in a week
Overview
Mark Chen says the Navier-Stokes achievement matters more for the figure it shows than for the problem itself, representing a decade of mathematical progress in a single week.
He says he is eager to apply these tools to life sciences, the building of OpenAI's next models, and alignment research.

Noam Brown@polynoamialLLMs now surpass top human experts on some research problemsAINoam Brown says LLMs have crossed a threshold by surpassing top human experts on some research problems, a jump that makes the recent surge in math results feel sudden. He expects breakthroughs in other domains to follow as models keep improving, though capabilities remain jagged and often still weaker than humans.
