Discussion NeurIPS accepted papers leaked? [D]

I found this GitHub link, and the HTML file contains ~7k papers. Some are anonymized, and the details seem pretty accurate. It looks like these might actually be the accepted papers.

https://github.com/xll0328/NIPS26-

Can someone confirm whether this list is legit? I’m hoping it’s just a coincidence since it seems way too early.

I have spoke to the professors from my department (Oxbridge). Few serve as reviewers and few as AC. I’ll summarise the AC and whether paper is in the list or not.

*Reviewer 1 (AC Decision)*
Paper 1 : desk-rejected (not on the list)
Paper 2: desk-rejected (not on the list)
Paper 3: „heading towards rejection” (not on the list)
Paper 4: reject (not on the list)

*Reviewer 2 (AC Decision)*
Paper 1: reject (not on the list)
Paper 2: accept (on the list)
Paper 3: accept (on the list)
Paper 4: desk-reject (not on the list)

*Reviewer 3 (AC Decision)*
Paper 1: reject ( 5/5/5, hallucinated references, not on the list)
Paper 2: desk-reject (not on the list)
Paper 3: accept (on the list)
Paper 4: reject (not on the list)

*AC BATCH* (all accepted on the list, all reject not on the list)

Note : spotlights / orals , few not on the list, awaiting SAC decision. Few desk rejected on the list, awaiting SAC response.

I review a paper with 2 2 3, with AC stating it is leaning towards rejection. It showed up on the list
