Researchers use AI to edit another AI, boost its maths score from 8% to 48%

Researchers at MIT found that GPT-6 Astra can directly read and edit another AI model's internal settings, without retraining it. It fixed a reasoning loop in China's Qwen AI model, raising its maths score from 7.9% to 48.1% on a test. The technique, called 'Weight-Space Programming', also improved the model's ability to follow instructions.
