One is basically an evidence-free ad hominem attack.

The other two sources make a concrete claim that in mid-2002 there was an independent, open-source, replication of the Nature paper:

>> Google stands by this work published in Nature on ML for Chip Design, which has been independently replicated, open-sourced, and used in production at Google.

>> The results in the Nature paper were independently replicated and validated by my team, the results were used in actual chips and Sat and his collaborators know it.
>> Furthermore, the code was open-sourced.
>> It is sad that you are providing a platform for someone's resentments.
The claims about independent replication refer to Google's circuit_training repository[1]. The UCSD team has conclusively shown this claim was materially false (see section 3 of their paper[2]).
BTW, Prof. Andrew Khang, who headed the UCSD effort, initially wrote an exteremely favorable editorial about the Nature paper[3].
