Concept Country has developed its first open-source model, Qwen Concept 27B. With 54% less thinking tokens and 3% better performance on GPQA Diamond compared to its base Qwen 3.8 model, we have achieved 30% more useful tokens per joule without additional post-training.

The method comes from "Sparks of Weight-Space Programming: LLMs can natively read & write neural network weights" by four MIT CSAIL researchers, published November 2, 2026: - Rikiya Takehi (joint first author) - Jayden Teoh (joint first author) - Alex Zhang - Omar Khattab, whose group it is; he's also known for DSPy and ColBERT. This method immediately inspired us to work to solve a long-standing problem with Qwen models: thinking often outruns the context window. Would it be possible for us to directly edit the weights so a model thought less, while retaining its intelligence? The answer: yes. Overall, this reduces the tokens used on GPQA Diamond by 30% while retaining accuracy.

Using a custom mechanistic interpretability harness, we achieved this work entirely on local hardware: @NVIDIAAI DGX Spark GB10s handled layer investigation, rank-1 updates & evaluation loops. Replicating the MIT CSAIL team’s work with a model nearly 30x its size, we show that direct weight editing has more potential beyond just fixing loops.

With a third less deliberation, Qwen Concept 27B actually outperforms its base model.

In the coming days, we will provide BF16, FP8 and NVFP4 quantization for this model, which will be available for free at Make sure to follow @conceptcountry for updates.

54% less thinking is wild. Does it actually feel smarter in practice or just faster?

Cutting thinking tokens by 54% with a weight edit is a different claim from the MATH score jumps. Tokens per joule is the number worth repeating👍

Nice. One thing worth adding: a random edit of the same size as a control. In my runs it did nothing (97% → 97%), which is what convinced me the effect was real. Also check whether it survives a bit of fine-tuning. Mine didn't (20 steps).
