Researchers have explored whether large language models can predict the behavioral impact of weight edits without directly running the target model. Experiments with Qwen and Muse models (9B-30B parameters) showed that Qwen 27B achieved 73.0% balanced accuracy in predicting subtle edits when given weight access, outperforming text descriptions. However, no conclusive advantage was found for models reading their own weights, and Muse-30B agents frequently predicted changes that were not behaviorally detectable. AI
