Jerry Liu reacts to GPT-6 Astra editing Qwen3.5-0.8B weights
AIJerry Liu posts only "wtf" in response to a quoted post from Riki Takehi. The quoted post says GPT-6 Astra directly edited 0.016% of Qwen3.5-0.8B's weights without gradients or training, raising math performance up to 6x and instruction following 3x.

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: https://rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-space-programming/
