Strong2Weak Transfer: Harness Boosts Weak Model Performance
青稞AI · wechat · 2026-08-26
This paper explores if strong models can help weak models at test-time without changing weights. By having a strong model build an inference-time harness (routing, code, verification) for a target model, GPT's accuracy nearly doubled on benchmarks. This suggests AI capabilities can be externalized into tools and workflows, not just compressed into weights.
