A team at MIT had GPT-6 Astra edit the weights of Qwen3.5-0.8B directly, with no training and no gradients. It changed 0.016% of the weights, and the authors report MATH-500 going from 7.9% to 48.1%. In this video I break down what weight editing actually is, why most of that jump comes from stopping the model's thinking loops rather than teaching it maths, and what the prompt and the logs show. I also cover the history behind it, from ROME and the refusal direction to last week's Qwenputer, what researchers like Neel Nanda, Ethan Mollick and Lucas Beyer said, and what this could mean for small models, safety and the open-weight supply chain. All results are the authors' own and haven't been independently replicated yet.
