MIT's GPT-6 Astra Edits Qwen Weights Directly, Boosting Math Skills 6x Without Training

MIT researchers demonstrate GPT-6 Astra directly modifying Qwen3.5-0.8B's weights, improving MATH-500 scores from 7.9% to 48.1% (6x) by altering only 0.016% of parameters without gradient descent, and even writing neural network weights from scratch for games, outperforming PPO baselines 20x.

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.
