OpenAI scooped Navier-Stokes — NYU’s Buckmaster and Anthropic’s Alpöge had been grinding on a Millennium Prize problem with Claude and Codex. Rumors leaked; OpenAI spun up ~10,000 agents for 88 hours. Internal model “significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.” 300B output tokens — $22.5M at Astra rates. Bubeck allegedly told Buckmaster to drop the Anthropic co-author; when he refused: “Why would you ruin your career?” They’d dumped every draft into Codex. OpenAI “cannot rule out” that product data helped. → The Decoder
