Brain Teaser: Black and white and read all over

Boston Globe Ideas is launching a new “Puzzling” brain-teaser feature, and its first puzzle is built around wordplay. The question asks for a two-word, nine-letter colloquial name for a black-and-white feline, where the backward spelling hides the name of an OpenAI model that recently made news for solving the Navier-Stokes Conjecture. A hint says the five-letter agentic AI model name sits in the middle of the animal’s name. The answer leads into a second rebus: the 12-letter, two-word punny name of the aircraft China used last month to ship two such animals to the United States.
