Bubeck denies Buckmaster’s allegations in Navier–Stokes dispute
OpenAI may have solved Navier–Stokes
tldr: Buckmaster is an NYU mathematician who’s been working with Levent Alpöge, a researcher at Anthropic. Buckmaster says OpenAI told him they’d achieved a Navier–Stokes breakthrough, then pushed to exclude Alpöge from authorship because of his Anthropic ties and threatened Buckmaster’s career when he said he’d go public. He hasn’t seen OpenAI’s proof. He also says they’d been putting their own research drafts into Codex throughout the project, but doesn’t know whether OpenAI used that data.
