Comments

In order to get the next number in the row, you add the two numbers above it, and find the next prime.

3 is the only prime number that never shows up.

5 is the only prime number that only shows up once; every prime number above 5 shows up at least twice.

Mathematica

T[n_, 0] := T[n, n] = 2; T[n_, k_] := T[n, k] = NextPrime[T[n - 1, k - 1] + T[n - 1, k] - 1]; Table[T[n, k], {n, 0, 10}, {k, 0, n}] // Flatten (* Michael De Vlieger, Apr 06 2023, after Maple *)
