2026 NeurIPS Workshop on Network Artifacts As Data retweeted
Hot take: this isn’t fully new ;) weight space learning / model modification has been around for a sec
Interested in learning more? Come to our NeurIPS workshop @artifactsasdata
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! 🧵

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

We just released paper decisions ✨✨✨ Congrats to all those with accepted papers, & thank you to the reviewers, ACs and PCs that made all of this possible.
We’re slowly working through our inbox—if your work was accepted, expect a few follow-ups soon.

Introducing Parallax 🔍
We're a new UK/EU-based nonprofit research lab building scalable methods and infrastructure to audit the beliefs, goals, and plans that shape model behaviours in long-horizon agentic evaluations.

⏳ Less than one week until our CFP closes!
Working on model populations, weights, gradients, representations, or training trajectories? We'd love to see your work at our #NeurIPS2026 workshop on neural network artifacts.

Excited to announce Naomi Saphra (Assistant Professor @BU_Tweets) as an invited speaker for the NeurIPS 2026 Workshop on Neural Network Artifacts as a New Data Modality!
🗓️ CFP deadline: Sept 1, 2026 — submit via OpenReview!
📄 CFP: artifactsasdata.org/cfp
@nsaphra's work on training dynamics & interpretability aligns closely with our themes. Check out one of her recent papers:
teapawt.org/nsaphra/status/2066507…
We don’t always know what problems are hard for LLMs. So devs evaluate on tasks HUMANS find hard or on broad benchmarks. What if we could instead anticipate which scenarios a model will fail on—all without evaluating specific input examples?
