OpenAI declines $1 million math prize from Justin Sun

OpenAI has been named the winner of Justin Sun's $1 million mathematics prize for its AI-authored proof of the Navier-Stokes equations, but the company has not claimed the funds. This follows a similar decision regarding a prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute. The proof, which OpenAI claims was generated by 10,000 AI agents and verified by GPT-6 Astra, has faced scrutiny from academics regarding the potential use of unpublished research, a claim OpenAI denies.
