The 'Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen' post is misleading

AI-generated summary

This article critiques a recent post claiming that Astra can improve Qwen models by directly manipulating their weights. The author argues that the original post misrepresents the experiments, conflating simple weight reading with complex tasks involving Python scripting and model execution. While Astra demonstrates capabilities in generating code to modify weights, the claim of 'just looking at raw weights' is only applicable to smaller, less complex models and not the large language models like Qwen.
