For nearly a century, the Navier-Stokes equations have represented one of mathematics’ most stubborn unanswered questions. These equations are central to understanding how fluids move, yet mathematicians have never established whether their three-dimensional solutions must remain smooth forever or can develop singularities in finite time. OpenAI now says an internal artificial intelligence system has produced a proof showing that such a singularity can occur. The company reports that the...

Tencent has introduced Hy4 preview, a large open-source artificial intelligence model designed to tackle demanding work across software engineering, office productivity, financial analysis, game development and scientific research. The release is significant not simply because of the model's scale, but because it reflects a broader transformation in the AI industry, where the competitive frontier is increasingly defined by reasoning depth, long-context processing, agent-like workflows and the...

The artificial intelligence boom is creating a new infrastructure bottleneck. The challenge is no longer simply obtaining advanced GPUs. Companies also need electricity, land, cooling systems, networking, buildings, grid connections, and enough physical capacity to deploy thousands of accelerators at scale. Nvidia increasingly appears to be positioning itself at the center of that entire equation. Reports that Nvidia is connecting companies seeking its GPUs with data center operators that...
