By way of [1], here [2] is a paper about A* also posted under CS/AI. It introduces "Q* search, a search algorithm that uses deep Q-networks to guide search" and uses it "to solve the Rubik's cube", the thing which Gary Marcus complained about OpenAI not having done with a neural network in 2019. As pointed out by techbro92 [3] the authors do not seem to be affiliated with OpenAI, but AFAIK nobody claimed that OpenAI invented Q*. It's not hard to imagine OpenAI trying it out with their Rubik-solving robot hand and then starting to think about other things it might be applied to.
