UnverifiedGPT-6 Astra can determine what task a network was trained to perform simply by looking at its raw weights.72% similarUnverifiedThe researchers gave 17,253 weights to GPT-6 Astra, and all four networks were correctly identified as their corresponding games.72% similarUnverifiedWithout any environment feedback, GPT-6 Astra can write small game networks from scratch, and these networks outperform networks trained with PPO for 100 million steps.70% similarUnverifiedIn a simple test, GPT-6 Astra accurately identified which arcade game each of four small networks corresponded to based solely on the raw weights, without running any of these networks throughout.69% similarUnverifiedIn a study titled "Sparks of Weightspace Programming," the MIT team had OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra directly read and modify another model's weights without training or gradient descent.67% similar
