This raises so many questions.

Unless Astra was trained on other networks, how is it able to reason about the weights?

Does this mean that OpenAI has been including networks in its training sets, maybe in an attempt to RSI? I wonder which other networks are able to ingest other networks and reason about their weights?

The frontier labs are known to ingest all publicly available data. Why would an open weight model be an exception?

Opus 5.5 also identified Breakout for me when I tested it in the Chat on the website.

Can you give some details on what you did?

		I asked Opus 5.5 in Claude Code to prepare a reproduction of one of the things in the article. It created a 130 KB file with the prompt for the task of identifying the game + the weights. I pasted that into Claude on the web and asked it to perform the task without using tools.
