Summary
Levent and Tristan made major independent progress on the Navier-Stokes problem using Claude and Codex, but OpenAI allegedly claimed similar results and pressured Tristan, raising concerns about data use and career threats.

this is insane.
Levent and Tristan make major independent progress towards Navier–Stokes, with help from Claude and Codex.
word reaches OpenAI.
days later, OpenAI claims internal NS results, coincidentally using the same novel methods as Levent and Tristan.
Tristan asks if OpenAI trained on their private Codex sessions. he never gets an answer.
then OpenAI pressures Tristan to publish without Levent because Levent works at Anthropic.
when Tristan refuses, he says OpenAI threatens his career.
