MIT's GPT-6 Astra Rewrites Qwen Weights Directly, Achieving 6x Math Improvement

MIT CSAIL's weight-space programming lets GPT-6 Astra directly edit neural weights without training, fixing Qwen3.5-0.8B's reasoning loops by modifying 0.016% of parameters to boost math 6x and instruction following 3x, while also handwriting game networks that surpass PPO, though limited to unblocking existing capabilities rather than creating new ones.
