Buckmaster's release of the Euler/Boussinesq/IPM blow-up proofs and his statement accusing OpenAI, which started the Navier–Stokes priority controversy.
Summary
Mastodon post of 8 Sep 2026 (03:58 UTC). Buckmaster announces that he and Levent Alpöge have made public finite-time blow-up with smooth forcing for incompressible porous media, Boussinesq and 3D incompressible Euler. He links the PDFs (cims.nyu.edu/tristanb/euler.pdf, ipm.pdf, boussinesq.pdf), the Lean formalisation (github.com/tristanbuckmaster/fluid_lean) and a statement (cims.nyu.edu/tristanb/statement.pdf). In the statement he alleges OpenAI pressured him over publication and credit around its forced Navier–Stokes result, as reported by Fortune, ABC and Science. OpenAI's Sébastien Bubeck called the allegations "false and inflammatory". Terence Tao boosted and summarised the work the same day (mathstodon.xyz/@tao/117233527638291447), calling it "A remarkable achievement". Verified via the Mastodon API.
