…ricated Rewrite 5 media whitepapers to truthfully attribute their permissively-licensed upstreams (dropping the fabricated "Zen MoDE" architecture + invented benchmarks): - zen-3d -> Microsoft TRELLIS (MIT) - zen-video-i2v -> Alibaba Wan2.2-I2V-A14B (Apache-2.0) - zen-world -> Alibaba Wan2.1-T2V-14B (Apache-2.0) - zen-director -> Alibaba Wan2.2-TI2V-5B (Apache-2.0) - zen-musician -> M-A-P YuE (Apache-2.0) Withdraw 4 fabricated/discontinued papers: - zen-mixture-of-experts (the fabricated "Zen MoDE" architecture) - zen-voyager (mislabeled Qwen3-32B LLM; repo deleted) - zen-foley (no permissively-licensed foley model exists) - zen-video (deleted Tencent-mix repo) Drop the withdrawn papers from INDEX.md and PAPER_TIMELINE.md.

The non-media zen paper corpus fabricated a homegrown "Zen MoDE (Mixture of Distilled Experts)" architecture + inflated benchmarks for what are off-the-shelf forks. Rewrite/withdraw all 65 to be honest (companion to the media PR #3). Rewritten (~45) to attribute the REAL upstream + license, drop "Zen MoDE" + fabricated benchmarks: - Flagship LLMs (zen-base/pro/family-overview/3-nano) -> Qwen3-8B (false 72B/0.6B corrected) - Multimodal (zen3-omni/3-vl/vl) -> Qwen3-Omni / Qwen3-VL (false 72B -> ~31B MoE) - Retrieval/safety: zen3-embedding/reranker -> Qwen3-Embedding/Reranker; zen3-guard -> IBM Granite Guardian; zen-guard-gen -> Qwen2.5-7B; zen-guard-stream -> Qwen2.5-3B (Qwen Research License = NON-commercial; flagged) - Speech/dub: zen-scribe -> Qwen3-ASR; zen-voice-clone -> Qwen3-TTS; zen-dub -> Qwen3-TTS + MuseTalk; zen-dub-live/zen-live -> Qwen3-Omni - Coder: zen-coder -> Qwen-Coder (deleted fake "Zen Agentic Dataset"); zen5 -> DeepSeek-V4-Flash - Domain (legal/financial/medical) -> Qwen3-8B finetunes (fabricated benchmarks dropped) - zen-designer-instruct/thinking -> Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B (verified real repos) - Method/arch papers -> stripped "Zen MoDE" + phantom 480B/1T; techniques kept; tables marked illustrative Withdrawn (11; no backing model / fabricated frontier scale): zen-max (480B), the entire zen4-* generation (zen4/-mini/-pro/-max/-ultra/-thinking/-coder/ -coder-flash/-coder-pro), zen-reasoning. INDEX.md (-> 59 papers) and PAPER_TIMELINE.md updated. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>

Aligns the media whitepapers with the cleaned-up, permissively-licensed model repos — the same honesty fix we applied to the HF model repos: truthful upstream attribution + real licenses, and removal of the fabricated "Zen MoDE" architecture and invented benchmarks.
Rewritten (5) — now honestly attribute their real upstream + license
Each drops the fabricated "Zen MoDE (Mixture of Distilled Experts)" backbone and invented benchmarks; all quantitative claims are now cited to the upstream authors. All five compile.
Withdrawn (4) — fabricated or discontinued
INDEX.mdandPAPER_TIMELINE.mdupdated to drop the withdrawn papers.Out of scope (flagged)
The broader "Zen MoDE" narrative + fictional dates persist across the ~85 non-media papers (LLM/coder/etc.) and PAPER_TIMELINE.md's general framing. A family-wide honesty pass is a separate, larger effort (the "audit all ~90 papers" option), not attempted here.
