What happened
Latent Space's daily AI roundup covers ongoing debates and replications regarding 'weight-space programming,' where frontier models directly edit the neural network weights of smaller models without backpropagation. The newsletter also summarizes recent model releases like Tencent Hy4, Anthropic's open-source FlashProve system for provable inference, and major flaws discovered in popular AI benchmarks.
