Two other papers, one on Kuga-Satake correspondences for K3 surfaces, one on the rational Hodge conjecture, had no errors of their own.

The error is in a paper on Weil classes on abelian eightfolds, where it breaks a cancellation argument.

OpenAI revised fourteen other papers as well, with repaired proofs and some corrected statements, and it added machine-checked proofs, so about forty-two percent of the main results are now formally verified in Lean.
