We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵
Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

Pittsburgh City Council voted unanimously this week to eliminate minimum parking and floor-area ratio (FAR) requirements for all new development citywide, one of several reforms aimed at making it easier to build housing.

It is a great day for housing affordability in Pittsburgh. This historic legislation is the product of years of advocacy, but we are just getting started!

I'm struggling to find a good source to review the details, but unless there's a major asterisk, I think this is the most impressive land use reform package I've ever seen passed in any major American city, anywhere, ever. Puts everyone else in the shade.
Bravo Pittsburgh

Mary Phuong of DeepMind on AI loss of control risk.
"The last 2 minutes gave me chills.
A significant amount of people saying that AI companies are paying people to spread fear about these agents.
I have never really felt like [loss of control] was an actual thing to care about.
But seeing Mary and how her face trembles, made me reconsider my stand. She's either a Hollywood-level skilled actress, one of the best, or we should be scared. For real."
"Seems like Mary is already aware of more than she can admit and it haunts her..."

Our MAI Diagnostic system is now 1.7x more accurate than physicians in the ED, even when they have access to the web to look things up.
It's also lower cost & does fewer medical tests to get to its diagnosis.

And instead they gave El-Sayed his strongest clip of the cycle!

interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

This is a wake-up call. Our social media is being manipulated by foreign agents with the express intention of sowing hatred, mistrust, and misinformation among Americans.
Russia is behind a lot of it, using programs designed to disrupt our country and turn us against each other. We should be cynical about what we see on social media, and not fall for the rage bait.
This is also a national security issue and if the social media companies dont take immediate action, they are complicit. It's time for real regulation that requires them to find and shut down foreign bot networks, and holds them accountable when they don't.
