Summary
According to a post on X by @kyutai_labs, the lab's new paper proposes a simpler alternative to Neural Thickets. Neural Thickets perturbs every weight of a language model, keeps the best-scoring copies and has them vote. The paper reports that adding a single random bias to the output logits, with all other weights unchanged, matches or beats those gains on a diverse set of tasks. The snippet does not name the benchmarks, scores or model sizes.

What happened
Neural Thickets perturbs every weight of a language model, keeps the best-scoring copies and has them vote. Kyutai's new paper shows that a single random bias on the output logits, with all other weights unchanged, matches or beats those gains on a diverse set of tasks. Also:...
Why it matters
If the result holds across the tested tasks, it suggests a much smaller change to a model can recover gains that previously required perturbing every weight and running votes. Researchers and teams working on model tuning would be most affected, since it points to a potentially cheaper approach. Readers should look for the full paper and its task results to judge how broadly the comparison applies.
