How much of GPT-6 Astra's weight-editing demo is the harness?

GPT-6 Astra can supposedly read a neural network's weights and rewrite them. The headline math result, though, used Python, practice problems and 50 test runs. The day after the paper went viral, Simon Willison pasted the raw weights of tiny game-playing networks (17,253 floats each) into Qwen 3.8…
