sign

a(n) is the number of primes <= n that are quadratic nonresidues modulo 3 minus the number of primes <= n that are quadratic residues modulo 3.
Conjecturally infinitely many terms are negative. The earliest negative term is a(608981813029) = -1, see A112632.
In general, assuming the strong form of the Riemann Hypothesis, if 0 < a, b < k are integers, gcd(a, k) = gcd(b, k) = 1, a is a quadratic residue and b is a quadratic nonresidue mod k, then Pi(k,b)(n) > Pi(k,a)(n) occurs more often than not. Pi(a,b)(x) denotes the number of primes in the arithmetic progression a*k + b less than or equal to x. This phenomenon is called "Chebyshev's bias". (See Wikipedia link and especially the links in A007350.) [Edited by Peter Munn, Nov 05 2023]

			Below 100, there are 11 primes congruent to 1 modulo 3 and 13 primes congruent to 2 modulo 3, so a(100) = 13 - 11 = 2.

a(n) is the number of odd primes <= n that have -2 as a quadratic nonresidue minus the number of primes <= n that have -2 as a quadratic residue.
It seems that there are more negative terms here than in some other sequences mentioned in crossrefs; nevertheless, among the first 10000 terms, only 212 ones are negative.
In general, assuming the strong form of the Riemann Hypothesis, if 0 < a, b < k are integers, gcd(a, k) = gcd(b, k) = 1, a is a quadratic residue and b is a quadratic nonresidue mod k, then Pi(k,b)(n) > Pi(k,a)(n) occurs more often than not. This phenomenon is called "Chebyshev's bias". (See Wikipedia link and especially the links in A007350.) [Edited by Peter Munn, Nov 18 2023]
Here, although 3 is not a quadratic residue modulo 8, for most n we have Pi(8,5)(n) + Pi(8,7)(n) > Pi(8,1)(n) - Pi(8,3)(n), Pi(8,3)(n) + Pi(8,7)(n) > Pi(8,1)(n) + Pi(8,5)(n) and Pi(8,5)(n) + Pi(8,7)(n) > Pi(8,1)(n) + Pi(8,7)(n).

			Pi(8,1)(200) = 8, Pi(8,5)(200) = 13, Pi(8,3)(200) = Pi(8,7)(200) = 12, so a(200) = 13 + 12 - 8 - 12 = 5.
