Will 'weight-space programming' become real? Benchmarks and RL could make frontier models learn it
jm_alexia · x · 2026-11-07
alonrag argues "weight-space programming" will become a hyperstition: the original example was just a bugfix hillclimb, but now that the idea exists, benchmarks and RL environments will be built around it, so future frontier models will actually gain this capability. jmalexia shares the take.
