[AINews] LLMs can read & write neural network weights: "Weight Space Programming" cuts Autoresearch out of the RSI loop

AINews reports a paper in which a smart model directly reads and edits the weights of a smaller model, described as one-shot fixing bugs from failed traces, improving in a general direction over about 50 steps, and writing entire network weights from scratch that beat some independently trained models. The post frames this as a new recursive-self-improvement capability that emerged suddenly, notes an independent reproduction appears to have already found it, and cautions it is unlikely to scale beyond simple games and RL policies for now. The same issue also covers DeepSeek's open-sourced "super-agent" harness prototype, the GDPx benchmark where the best model scores 12%, and October model releases.
