  Thank you for being a patron of AI Inside. Here are today's top stories in AI:OpenAI says an internal model beyond GPT-6 Astra solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem, but the win is tangled in a credit dispute with two rival mathematicians and an accusation that an OpenAI researcher tried to strip one of them from authorship for working at Anthropic.https://openai.com/index/navier-stokes-solution/An Anthropic and OpenAI researcher just quit the AI industry entirely, warning both companies are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence."
