If anyone wants to recreate this at a hackathon in Brooklyn this Saturday Nov 7 sign up here and I’ll make a prize for it localhostai.nyc
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! 🧵

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

People keep asking me where the open source AI and private AI people in New York 🗽 are. Instead of a million group chats, I'm bringing them together for a day of hacking and discussion on Saturday November 7th. No one should own your AI except for you. Welcome to LOCALHOST ⬇️

ALT The localhostai.nyc home page, styled as a thermal security camera feed over Williamsburg. A terminal window titled localhost, the word LOCALHOST in pixel type, "New York's Sovereign AI Hackathon", the line "No one should own your AI except for you." then "Come hack on open weights, open harnesses, open memory, and open hardware to accelerate the future." When: Sat, Nov 7, 2026. Who: 50-100 hackers. Where: Williamsburg, NYC. Buttons: Apply to hack, Sponsor a track.
