Removing an Anthropic author was allegedly the price of giving up research priority
generatorman_ai · x · 2026-09-08
In the dispute over OpenAI apparently scooping independent research, one participant speculates that removing Levent — an Anthropic-affiliated author — was the condition for surrendering the right to priority, calling it understandable since no one is obliged to hold off publication just because others were already working on the problem. Others push back, arguing that conditioning a paper on dropping a specific author is "super sad" and contrary to how research should be conducted.
