I think the indication is that this proprietary and secret machine is extremely capable at reading and writing in weights.

Occams razor would say that it was not only built for this purpose, but possibly multiple generations of good at this.

A year ago LLMs seemed to hit a wall, and then all the sudden they started accelerating as quickly as ever.

No one can legally confirm or deny that it's happening... But it sure feels like it's happening.

People have been saying LLMs have hit a wall for like 4 years. People still say it today. I don't think it's been true at any point.
