During OpenAI’s GPT-5 launch event, they demoed the model’s ability to fix real bugs in production code. Live on stage. In their own repository. The kind of demo that makes CTOs reach for their credit cards and engineers nervously update their resumes. There’s just one small problem: the fix they promised to merge “right after the show” is still sitting there, unmerged, three and a half months later.

Does not appear to be the correct MR. Comments on the issue allude to "they never pushed it" so sounds like there never was an MR. Watching the announcement where they demo'd it, it wrote much more than is in that MR. Not to defend OpenAI, I hate vibe coded solutions that add so many useless comments.

Write. Readable. Code.

I see, thank you for the clarification. I was quite confused because it seemed to be missing, this one didn't quite seem correct. If they never even pushed it as a MR then that makes more sense. Then the whole "hasn't been merged yet" is missing that it hasn't even been created.
