- Sebastien Bubeck issued clarifications on the controversy around OpenAI's math breakthrough (Euler/Navier-Stokes).
- He says the leaked screenshot shows him proactively contacting Levent to coordinate release timing, with good intentions.
- He denies ever asking for Levent to be removed from authorship, and only learned during a call with Tristan that the other team had solved Euler but not Navier-Stokes.
