Read original source →venturebeat.com

Asking GPT-6 Astra to improve Qwen3.5-0.8B's math directly edited just 0.016% of weights, raising MATH-500 from 7.9% to 48.1% with no gradients or training. The authors say the edit mostly removed a reasoning-loop failure mode Qwen's own model card warns about; IFEval rose 3x.
