The company expects the price of AI-driven frontier math to fall sharply, even as mathematicians question who deserves credit OpenAI says a Navier-Stokes project like the one it just ran could cost about $100,000 next year. The first attempt cost roughly $10 million. That is a drop of about 99% in a single year, if the forecast holds. On September 8, 2026, OpenAI announced results from an internal AI system. The system reportedly outperformed GPT-6 Astra, the company’s flagship model. OpenAI says the system produced an analytical proof addressing the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.
