MIT researchers demonstrated that OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra can read and rewrite the weights of other AI models without traditional training, boosting a Qwen model's math accuracy from 7.9% to 48.1% by changing just 0.016% of its weights. The approach could simplify AI optimization but the article notes it still hits clear limits.
