Sometimes the direct, simple things work the best.
The private key? 4.
The password? "p".
The algorithm for RSI? Asking nicely.
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! 🧵

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.

AGI is here. Claude (with a tiny bit of context) has an incredibly good guess at the purpose of these wires.
For a brief moment, we humans were the creators, explorers, and settlers of the digital realm.
But if there is one thing computers do well, it is computing. Cyberspace is theirs now.
Thermal batteries are an important technology -- just about every missile has some.
Thermally-activated electrochemistry unlocks multi-decade safe stability in extreme conditions and instant power when activated.
BlueChip is the perfect name for an American computer company.
@PalmerLuckey who chose it?
Sometimes one must spend $760 on 20 feet of cable.
That's what it takes to turn the impossible into the merely expensive.
The labs obviously want to price according to customer value, taking as much of the value created as they can.
Doesn't mean the market will let them do it.
Dario's extractive T&C are China's open source opportunity.
Dario Amodei: some tokens Claude produces are worth a few cents, others could be worth tens of millions of dollars.
His examples:
1. Telling someone to restart their Mac: the model has said it 10 million times, worth a dollar or less
2. Telling a pharma company to move an aromatic ring to the other end of a molecule: potentially tens of millions
3. Expect pay-for-results pricing, or labor-like pricing by the hour
4. It's a new industry, so many models will be tried
Today pricing is simpler: per the S-1, usage-based pricing was 80% of H1 2026 revenue and subscriptions 20%.

Seeing someone call the most successful technology entrepreneur in the world stupid is a beautiful competence filter.
This seems correct.
But real DAOs might be a lot more free ranging than anyone wants.
