MIT team uses OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to directly edit Qwen's open model weights

MIT researchers report GPT-6 Astra editing Qwen's weights directly

A study describes using GPT-6 Astra to manipulate Qwen's open weights without retraining, boosting its math performance by addressing repetitive reasoning patterns; the paper also notes Astra wrote and ran a Python program to perform the edit after roughly 50 trial-and-error attempts, and a similar edit attempted on Gemma to remove sycophancy was unsuccessful.
