On September 8, 2026, researchers at OpenAI were accused of pressuring mathematician Tristan Buckmaster to remove his signature from the paper on breakthroughs in the Navier-Stokes equations, in which he was listed as a co-author due to his work at Anthropic. Buckmaster refused and was threatened. Previously, Buckmaster had uploaded the relevant drafts to Codex. Subsequently, OpenAI claimed to have made breakthroughs using the same solution approach, arguing that its model did not query user data, but stated no answer when asked about training-related questions.
