MIT Shows an LLM Can Read and Edit Another Neural Network's Weights Directly

MIT CSAIL's "weight-space programming" has a frontier LLM read and edit neural network weights directly, with no gradient descent. Surgical edits ended Qwen's reasoning loops, but the results come ...

'Like gene editing for neural networks': MIT researchers used GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen's open weights directly, boosting math performance

In the strongest example of "weight space programming", as the technique is called, Astra’s intervention raised Qwen3.5-0.8B’s MATH-500 score from 7.9% to 48.1% while touching approximately 0.016% of ...
