A Caltech PINN finds a candidate unforced 3D Euler blowup profile

On 9 September 2026 Ganeshram, Duruisseaux, and Anandkumar posted evidence of a numerically stable, approximately self-similar finite-time singularity for unforced 3D Euler on R³, found with a physics-informed neural network. Terence Tao called it a promising candidate, not a closed proof.

Buckmaster and Alpöge, using Sol and Claude, prove smooth-forced blowup for Euler, IPM, and Boussinesq

On 8–11 September 2026 Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge released Lean-backed finite-time blowup results with smooth forcing for incompressible porous media, 2D Boussinesq, and 3D Euler, crediting Anthropic’s Claude and especially OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol. Astra was used only for writeups and auditing.

OpenAI claims a forced Navier–Stokes singularity from an unreleased system

On 8 September 2026 OpenAI published a 166-page writeup and Lean formalization arguing that smooth, finite-energy 3D Navier–Stokes dynamics with a smooth external force can blow up in finite time, which it says settles Clay statements C and D. The search model was an unreleased internal system; GPT-6 Astra did the Lean step.

An unreleased OpenAI system produces an unforced 3D Euler blowup

While probing Millennium problems in early September 2026, OpenAI says a multi-agent run of an internal model more capable than GPT-6 Astra produced a finite-time singularity for unforced 3D incompressible Euler in about 50 hours.

GPT-6 Astra improves short and large prime-gap bounds

On 3 September 2026 OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra with two analytic number-theory results: a proof that infinitely many consecutive primes differ by at most 186, and an improvement to a large-gap bound that had been stuck for more than 80 years.

AlphaGenome predicts multimodal regulatory effects of DNA variants

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome takes up to 1 Mb of DNA and predicts gene expression, splicing, chromatin, and contact tracks, matching or beating external models on 25 of 26 variant-effect tests in a 28 January 2026 Nature paper.
