"Evolution is anything but random."

This is INSANE...

@akarshkumar0101 (@MIT_CSAIL, @SakanaAILabs) on artificial life: searching the space of possible universes with foundation models, why evolved networks find structure SGD misses (with @kenneth0stanley), and LLMs evolving Core War programs.

The bitterest lesson eventually won out.

Brute force computation is not enough for intelligence. Clever new methods are needed. The science of AI is far from finished. IMHO

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! 🧵

What if there is no hard problem? @Plinz
