@jcamdr70 yes, great point
Editing mind instead of make it learns.
AI are not black box for AI anymore.

MASSIVE. MIT researchers showed that GPT-6 Astra can improve another AI model by changing its weights directly, without training.
Here, GPT-6 Astra raised Qwen3.5-0.8B from 7.9% to 48.1% on MATH-500 by editing 0.016% of its weights, without training.
Astra got Qwen’s weights in a Python notebook, plus a budget of 50 test runs on practice math problems. It saw the model kept repeating itself until it hit its length limit, traced that habit to a single internal signal written by 2 of its layers, and subtracted that signal out of the weights.
With the loop gone, the model could finish answers it was already capable of solving.
That single targeted edit changed 0.016% of the weights and lifted math accuracy from 7.9% to 48.1%.
