Navier-Stokes Equation - Clay Mathematics Institute
This is the equation which governs the flow of fluids such as water and air. However, there is no proof for the most basic questions one can ask: do solutions exist, and are they unique? Why ask for a proof? Because a proof gives not only certitude, but also understanding.

icymi, openai also open sourced how their deep research prompt rewriter works + the full prompts todayyou can now build your own deep research agent - with full o3/o4-mini deep research quality - in 20LOCif you're a fan of Claude Research they ALSO dropped how to add… pic.twitter.com/5moxXjzqTj— swyx (@swyx) June 27, 2025

Primary sources for Sensemaker's September 9, 2026 brief separating OpenAI's published Navier–Stokes claim, its formal artifact, Clay's official alternatives, prize recognition, and the unresolved provenance question.
If you're going to cite that NBER report from OpenAI about "how people use AI," you've got to at least caveat it. We have no way to directly verify most of the report, and we do have at least one good reason, via indirect evidence and quoted below, to not trust it. nber.org/papers/w34255

Not the point of the OP, but I was curious and took a closer look at this 2025 piece from OpenAI. Much could be said, but it fails my go-to test for all of these pieces about "how people actually use AI": the tokens "sex" "erotic" and "NSFW" do not appear in the paper.
