Re:Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen by jablongo on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:32PM (#50343288)
I agree this is a huge deal, but I dont think this is saying that the NN can read the weights and "say hmmmm this one looks a bit low its obviously causing reasoning loops, lets bump that up a bit". The LLM that modified the weights developed hypotheses and wrote a bunch of code to look at various mathematical properties of the weights and updated them based on that. While it's still crazy it's not quite what I was imagining when I first read this...
