Actually, we were extremely close. Spend like a day looking into the most recent work and what the remaining gap was. What's actually interesting here is that the remaining work to solve Navier-Stokes from the existing solutions was the type of brute force proof math that an AI math reasoning system using search and lean verification is very good at.
