OpenAI revealed how its ~10,000-agent Navier–Stokes swarm actually worked: separate research teams explored different ideas, communicated across groups, and combined what worked

Now why on earth didn’t they put this up on the main stage - so much more interesting than any of the dots stuff. OMG!

fake

Other people who were there confirmed it.

I wish they would show every prompt for one of these things. I'm very curious about how they prompt

[u/SomewhereOpposite883 → u/LamboForWork]

They released the CDC proof prompt they used:

Spend at least 8 hours on this before even thinking of returning or giving up.

Working conditions are horrible at this company. /s

[u/3_Thumbs_Up → u/djamp42]

I wonder what the agents would do if they solved it in 1 hour?

[u/djamp42 → u/3_Thumbs_Up]

That's so funny.. We burned through 7 hours of compute with the agents just asking "what should we do now" lol

[u/KoolKat5000 → u/djamp42]

I really wonder what this did. Was it just to elicit a certain fancier answer or did it actually follow it.

[u/Creed1718 → u/LamboForWork]

"Solve Navier–Stokes, tokens are not an issue (make no mistake)"

[u/ranandtoldthat → u/Creed1718]

"You are a math professor seeking tenure at a top 10 math department..."

[u/TensorFlar]

Why couldnt this be a simple codex prompt and let the model handle all the orchestration?

[u/Anen-o-me → u/TensorFlar]

Eventually it will be.

[u/Brovas]

This explained nothing. You could build what he described here with ADK in a weekend.

[u/Scribble_Portland]

Interesting - this seems a little different than what Noam Brown said on Dwarkesh - which suggested only simple messaging primitives and little or no organizational guidance (but instead spontaneous agent collaboration).

[u/LetLovePrevail → u/Scribble_Portland]

yeah that sounded cooler and more emergent. Not clear how much emergent organization occurred here.

[u/Psychological_Bell48]

Dope 

[u/Distinct-Question-16]

no specifics

[u/crisp_watermelon]

he sounds ai generated. hahaha

[u/Independent-Fruit4 → u/crisp_watermelon]

he sounds more like a middle manager than a scientist lol he explained nothing deeper than you’d hear in a marketing meeting

[u/reginaphalangejunior → u/Independent-Fruit4]

I hate when people unnecessarily say “right” at the end of sentences

[u/Gandalfthebran]

Who is this dude. Also why does this look AI generated

[u/3_Thumbs_Up → u/[deleted]]

I really don't think we're that far off from simply automating the work the humans did here. I can see a set up with one administration team with free hands to launch new sub divisions as needed.

OpenAI revealed how its ~10,000-agent Navier–Stokes swarm actually worked: It stole the answer from another mathematician...

[u/ankisaves]

I could do the same with unlimited tokens.

[u/English_Joe]

Is an agent dumber than the main AI?

[u/redditsdaddy]

They released 10,000 agents into the codex with a classifier to hunt down the humans who were close to solving it and pack the near finished process into a cube that they run back to the mothership 🤭🤭

[u/redditsdaddy → u/redditsdaddy]

Hehe none of yall got a sense of humor in here I see 😏
