Most AI progress still happens by training a model from scratch.

This research points at a stranger path: ask a model to inspect another model’s raw weights and directly repair a weakness.

It is early, and the results need replication. But if it holds up, improving a model may start to look less like building a factory and more like debugging software. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp…
rikiyat.github.io Sparks of Weight-Space Programming: LLMs can natively read & write neural network weights We find that frontier LLMs are surprisingly good at natively reading and writing neural network weights, using a variety of recent tools and algorithms or even via direct weight editing.

Google just released a model that can find and patch security flaws. Almost nobody can use it yet.

Gemini 4 Carbon goes to cyber defenders first, not the public. If it holds up, patching old code could become faster than exploiting it. The data is still early.

What if an AI assistant could recognize that it’s missing your goal — and change course before you have to ask for help?

At @Navan, we’re exploring how signals inside Ava can reveal when a traveler’s need isn’t being met, so Ava can respond more thoughtfully or connect them with a person sooner.

I wrote about how interpretability can make AI assistance more useful in real time and talked about it at Navigate. Read more at lnkd.in/dK98WBXQ

Who owns the AI may matter as much as how smart it is.

Kimi K3.1 Pro is live. Moonshot promises downloadable weights by Nov 4. If the results hold up, teams could run a powerful coding model on their own servers. Weights and license pending.
