ProgramAsWeights: compile English function descriptions into neural programs that run locally [R]

ProgramAsWeights (PAW) is an open-source research project from the University of Waterloo that compiles English function descriptions into neural programs. On FuzzyBench, PAW, utilizing a 0.6B interpreter, achieved 73.4% exact-match accuracy. This performance surpasses direct prompting of Qwen3-32B, which scored 68.7% accuracy. Further benchmarks, baselines, and ablations are detailed in their initial paper.
