15% probability that AI will solve a Clay Mathematics Institute Millennium Prize problem (likely Navier-Stokes) by end of 2026.

15% probability that AI will solve a Clay Mathematics Institute Millennium Prize problem (likely Navier-Stokes) by end of 2026. | Any peer-reviewed AI-assisted Navier-Stokes breakthrough

Key catalyst: Any peer-reviewed AI-assisted Navier-Stokes breakthrough

Watch events: Clay Mathematics Institute announcements; peer-reviewed mathematics AI-assisted proofs

AI proof-assistants (Lean, Terence Tao formalization work) advancing. GPT-5.2 Pro reportedly proving new gluon scattering amplitude formulas. No Millennium Prize yet claimed by AI.
