> OpenAI says roughly 10,000 concurrent AI agents produced a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem in about 88 hours, with GPT-6 Astra then formalizing and verifying it in Lean. The process points to automated theorem proving as a possible boost for smart-contract security, while underscoring the need for precise specifications of what must be tested.
