We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

i would rather be an optimist and work hard than a pessimist posting about why things won't work. it's much more difficult and the most likely path is failure, but society fails if people don't try. no amount of "it will never work" essays will drive society forward.
Dang it’s crazy that all of this literally did happen

shaken up a bit by the hugging face incident. I hope we (the company) use the rare gift of a warning shot to do much better in the future. it is very easy to misalign and underconstrain powerful models

FYI: 5.6 Sol medium is better than 5.5 xhigh. As you go higher in reasoning levels on Sol, you will get insane levels of performance, but can burn through limits much more rapidly. We’re working on communicating this better!
If you're having issues with your usage limits, I really recommend turning down reasoning effort vs what you used in 5.5. 5.6 Sol Medium and 5.5 Medium are not 1:1, and 5.6 Sol Low is the default for a reason! You probably don't need to use xhigh except for very tough problems.

Regular reminder, because it just popped up again in a conversation: 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Ping is not a reliable network connectivity test. 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Kubernetes has single handed set our industry back a decade. Companies are going to die because they spend more time “managing Kubernetes” than building a product.

Saw a regex in this project that was supposed to do input validation but it wasn’t actually used anywhere. Homeopathic input validation

at every serverless event, someone would ask about staying vendor agnostic I don't explain anymore, please be vendor agnostic and let your competitors that leverage their cloud provider fully win when you're busy managing stuff

Big milestones this past month. GHOSt 1 is integrated and we're getting ready for environmental tests. The GHOSt 2 payload has been delivered and we're working on integrating it with the satellite. Thank you to our partners @Corning and @astrodigitalgeo #Satellites
