For years, the deal with neural networks has been simple. You train them. Millions of small changes done by an optimizer until numbers inside stabilize to something useful. People don’t manually write ...

MIT CSAIL's "weight-space programming" has a frontier LLM read and edit neural network weights directly, with no gradient descent. Surgical edits ended Qwen's reasoning loops, but the results come ...

Qwen3.5-0.8B, a small open-weight model from Alibaba, also saw GSM8K accuracy rise from 13.8% to 67.1% and IFEval from 21.0% to 62.3%. The researchers call the result early "sparks" of a capability, ...

In the strongest example of "weight space programming", as the technique is called, Astra’s intervention raised Qwen3.5-0.8B’s MATH-500 score from 7.9% to 48.1% while touching approximately 0.016% of ...

Angola’s ANGOSAT-2 high-throughput satellite signed a memorandum of understanding with Tanzania on October 29, 2026, adding a sixth African nation to an Angolan-led shared orbital network that now ...

Unitech Training Academy announced it now offers a fully online Cybersecurity Operations and Risk Management program for Louisiana residents.

I think I'd expect known-good weights for networks this common to be in its training data, no? Everything else is awesome though ...

Writing from scratch: given MinAtar game rules and code, Astra wrote a Breakout network's weights in a single reply. With zero training or tools, it scored 20× higher than PPO trained for 500M steps!

The Computer & Communications Industry Association co-filed a joint amicus brief along with NetChoice and Technet in a case involving OpenAI ...

Enrollify, the largest podcast network dedicated to higher education, today announced the launch of Enrollify Futures, a home for campus professionals to develop tangible AI skills. Its first courses ...
