I didn’t believe any of these results so I tried it on my towel folding robot checkpoint and overnight Astra just..manually edited its way to a working model??

WHAT IS GOING ON

1st: reviewing different generations of manually edited models
2nd: my best policy before .-.

OCR models often get stuck in loops, so I asked Claude Opus if it could stop one from looping by editing its weights.

It changed 0.0085% of them and with no training, it now reads this 1881 page instead of writing 16,399 characters of dots!

Prompt was basically: "read this, find a smallish OCR model and fix its repetition doom loops. You can spend up to 5 hours and $100 on @huggingface Jobs."

It only took under 3 hours in the end and about $10 of Jobs compute.
