Der neue heiße Schice: Weight-Space-Programming. Hierbei schreiben LLMs direkt ins Hirn eines anderen LLM.

We find that frontier LLMs are surprisingly good at natively reading and writing neural network weights, using a variety of recent tools and algorithms or even via direct weight editing. These results show sparks of Weight-Space Programming, which may extend beyond what we’d expect from humans or conventional algorithms. This might be a big deal for both optimization and interpretability.

Das LLM verändert die Gewichte des anderen Modells direkt und kann so die Mathe-Fähigkeiten eines eigentlich schwachen Modells verbessern:

Likewise, asked to make Qwen3.5-0.8B better at math without gradients, Astra identifies an issue in its weights causing reasoning loops that Qwen’s own model card warns about, and fixes this by natively editing 0.016% of the weights. With the same sampling settings, this weight correction raises MATH-500 from 7.9% to 48.1% and generalizes out of the box to instruction following, raising IFEval by 3x.
