[AINews] LLMs can read & write neural network weights: "Weight Space Programming" cuts Autoresearch out of the RSI loop

[AINews] LLMs can read & write neural network weights: "Weight Space Programming" cuts Autoresearch out of the RSI loop

Brief overview

Claude Code can directly read and edit the weights of other models without human intervention or PyTorch/Jax code, achieving weight reading, single-time bug fixes, performance improvements, or writing network weights from scratch. This technology bypasses the traditional process of Autoresearch by running experiments in a cluster to train models, demonstrating the potential of LLMs in weight space programming, currently mainly applicable to simple games and RL policies.
