Frontier Models Can One-Shot Neural Network Weight Modification
November 3, 2026
A 100k parameter model was successfully modified by a frontier model to recognize real versus fake legal citations through hand-written weights. This suggests models may soon possess the ability to directly manipulate neural architectures rather than just predicting text.
