OpenAI's Bubeck responded on X that "A series of false and inflammatory allegations against me are currently circulating on social channels" and that he entered the discussion following academic norms. He posted a text-message exchange with Levent Alpöge proposing a coordinated release and saying credit should go to Alpöge and Buckmaster, and framed the disputed request as being about who could author OpenAI's own writeup rather than Buckmaster's paper. This is the only first-person rebuttal from the OpenAI side and it contradicts Buckmaster's account on the specific point of stripping authorship.
