OpenAI mathematics manuscript withdrawals timeline

OpenAI’s mathematics repository records three withdrawn manuscripts after a sign error undermined a stabilization-trace cancellation argument and a construction used by two dependent papers. Its history page also lists revisions to 14 other manuscripts and reference updates in 13 more. The repository labels the history entry October 7; the public update commit is timestamped October 8 at 05:03 UTC. The withdrawals are a concrete correction to the manuscript collection released earlier in the week, not a verdict on all of its remaining results.
