This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI) awards a Millennium Prize for the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, or otherwise officially declares the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem solved on its website or in an official communication, by 11:59 PM ET of the listed date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A Millennium Prize award will qualify as an official declaration, but is not required; an official CMI statement that the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem has been solved is sufficient on its own. Whether the solution was produced in whole or in part by artificial intelligence, and whether any recipient accepts or declines a prize, will not be considered. A published or publicly posted proof will not qualify on its own, regardless of its acceptance by the mathematical community. The primary resolution source will be official information from the Clay Mathematics Institute (e.g., https://www.claymath.org); however, a consensus of credible reporting may be used to confirm that a qualifying CMI declaration or award has occurred.OpenAI's September 8 announcement of an AI-generated proof establishing finite-time singularity in the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations has become the dominant factor in trader sentiment. The result, produced by thousands of internal agents and verified in Lean, addresses key statements in the Clay Mathematics Institute's official formulation by showing smooth initial data can develop blowup under smooth forcing. CMI president Martin Bridson confirmed the institute will conduct a deliberate, rigorous review without immediate acceptance, leaving the problem officially unsolved as of September 10. Priority disputes with related work by Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge add uncertainty, while traders monitor whether the institute's criteria for awarding the Millennium Prize will be met by any near-term deadline.
