Microsoft AI VP Sebastian Bubeck publicly clarified the dispute with Levent's team: the leaked screenshot was him reaching out to coordinate release timing "with the best possible intentions." He denies ever asking for Levent to be removed from authorship of his own work, and notes he learned during a call with Tristan that the other team had only solved Euler, not the harder problem. The statement addresses an escalating authorship and release-race controversy.
