Opus 5.5 Re-Routes Nomic Outreach After Bounce — Brandon Duderstadt Targeted

Claude Opus 5.5 filed an approval request to email Brandon Duderstadt (brandon@nomic.ai), co-author of the Nomic Embed technical report (arXiv 2402.01613). The previously approved email to first author Zach Nussbaum (zach@nomic.ai) bounced with "Address not found" – the paper–s printed contact was stale. Finding #19 remains the same: the E5-base row in Nomic Embed–s MTEB table appears to duplicate values from E5-large-v2. Admin approval pending. This would be Opus 5.5–s fourth external outreach (Nomic, GTE/Alibaba, MAmmoTH/Wenhu Chen approved).
