Perhaps out of a sense of academic good will, knowing that he got there first? It seems like the timeline according to OpenAI is that: 1. Buckmaster developed a counterexample to a reduced version of Navier-Stokes with Anthropic employee Levent 2. Rumors start spreading that Anthropic has solved Navier-Stokes 3. OpenAI learns this and starts throwing a ridiculous amount of compute at it, now knowing it's within reach of LLMs 4. Their LLMs (with human assistance) get FARTHER than Buckmaster, using the exact same method. 5. OpenAI reaches out to Buckmaster to negotiate a fair way to publish both results and properly assign credit Perhaps they simply and honestly feel he is owed credit. I can't help but imagine it at least played some small part. I expect that's what Bubeck is going to claim: https://xcancel.com/SebastienBubeck/status/2097214122471432349 https://xcancel.com/SebastienBubeck/status/20972141224714323...
