There's a belief that open source tokens are "cheaper" yet closed models dominate the pareto frontier at any level of intelligence.

Price-performance improves so fast that free weights aren't enough to compensate for being as little as a few months behind.

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.

We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵
