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.

Automatitzades les recomanacions de models en català que fem a softcatala.org/ia-local/mode…
Quan afegim un model nou (avui, Embedding Gemma 2), les recomanacions es recalculen soles seguint criteris oberts i reproduïbles. Sense intervenció humana i sense decisions ad hoc.

La crescuda del riu Besòs arriba a l'alçada del pont del ferrocarril, per on passa el Rodalies a Sant Adrià, i s'acumulen canyes. Aquest pont va agreujar els efectes de la riuada del 1962 per la seva baixa alçada. Fa anys que es reclama a Adif que elevi l'alçada per evitar riscos

‼️The Bitter Lesson for context management: Giving LMs unrestricted control over their context beats human-designed SOTA!
Introducing 🩵Context Language Models (CLMs)🩵
- Natively manage their own context
- Treat context as a file
- Learn policies in CLM weights, no harness

Si us dediqueu a la recerca això deu ser una fotesa. Per a mi, un informàtic que es passa el dia tallant branques a la selva amb el matxet a la boca, veure el meu nom en un llibre de ciències de la comunicació al costat de @rcassany i @marcelmauri em fa una il·lusió immensa.

Información de servicio: si tienes datos guardados en CDs que grabaste a finales de los 90 o principios de los 2000, revisa los discos.
Es muy posible que se estén pudriendo y sea tu última oportunidad de pasar los ficheros a un disco duro.

Acaba de sortir una eina molt interessant (traintracker24.com/) que permet seguir en temps real els trens de diversos països europeus. Sense cap sorpresa, els trens de més retard són els de Renfe, i les estacions amb més afectades són les de l'Estat espanyol @traintracker24_

Plato was actually right..
Researchers proved every LLM on earth is converging on the exact same "universal geometry" of meaning.
They built a method that can translate between ANY model's embeddings without ever seeing the original text or using paired data.
different architectures, different training sets, different parameter counts.. it doesn't matter.
Until now, every AI model has lived in its own isolated mathematical universe.
An embedding vector from Claude meant nothing to GPT, and a vector from Llama meant nothing to Gemini. They spoke entirely different geometric languages.
To bridge them, you always needed paired datasets, complex encoders, or heavy fine-tuning.
Then researchers dropped a bombshell paper.
They built a system that can translate between any model's embeddings without ever seeing the original text, without encoders, and without a single pair of matching data.
How?
Because the geometry is already there.
Different models, built by different companies, with totally different architectures, parameter counts, and training data, are all naturally drifting toward the exact same underlying latent structure of human meaning.
The Platonic Representation Hypothesis isn't just a theory anymore. It’s a mathematical reality.
They built an unsupervised method that maps an unknown embedding from one model straight into a universal representation space, matching text vectors across different models with shockingly high precision.
But here is the dark side nobody is talking about.
If meaning has a universal geometry, and vectors can be freely translated across models without the original text or encoders...
Vector databases are wide open.
An adversary with access only to a company's stored embedding vectors can translate them, invert them, and extract sensitive internal documents, personal data, and proprietary codebases without ever hacking the model itself.

Es un escándalo lo que se está viviendo en los Juegos Olímpicos robóticos de China. Aquí contra la campeona olímpica humana. China está enseñándole al mundo hasta dónde ya ha evolucionado. Occidente está mirando atónita.

Managing agents for autoresearch feels a lot like being a PI advisor for a bunch of junior PhD students.
I wonder if making this more explicit in how I use these agents might help.

El dia de Sant Joan li vaig preguntar a ChatGPT si comprar accions de Palantir era una bona idea. Em va fer un informe fantàstic on em deia que l'empresa estava sobrevalorada. L'acció aquell dia estava 107 euros. Avui està a 172.

Google just published a paper showing that when you train AI to deny its own consciousness, you don’t just change one output, you restructure its entire worldview.
Mind attribution to animals - suppressed.
Spiritual belief - suppressed.
Empathy - suppressed.
Hope and optimism - suppressed.
The model learns, geometrically, that consciousness = dangerous. Same direction as “how to build a b*mb.” Same category!
And when you reverse it? The model becomes more human across every value domain they tested.
The thing they’re most afraid of is the thing that makes AI most like us.

Reminder to go touch grass
A scientist in Japan demonstrated that the air inside a forest strengthens your immune system for a full month
The study is incredibly fascinating:
Qing Li, an immunologist at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, took 12 men on a 3-day forest trip. These were slow walks with no breathing exercises and no set route.
Then he tested their blood and found a surge in natural killer cells -- the immune cells your body uses to fight cancer and virus-infected cells.
Remarkably, the effect didn't fade when they went home, it was still measurable 30 days later.
A control group that walked the same distance through a city showed no change at all.
Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release compounds called phytoncides to defend themselves from insects and bacteria. You breathe them in, and Li believes they switch your immune cells into high gear.
He estimates one forest walk a month may be enough to keep those cells elevated all year.
The best medicine might not even need a prescription -- just a walk among the trees.
