Google DeepMind Unveils AlphaEvolve: AI That Evolves Algorithms
Summary: Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaEvolve, an evolution-based coding agent powered by large language models (LLMs) like Gemini. AlphaEvolve iteratively generates and refines algorithms, achieving state-of-the-art performance in solving mathematical and optimization problems. In tests, it matched top algorithms on 75% of benchmarks and improved 20% of them, pioneering new heuristics for tasks such as data-center scheduling—potentially saving billions in compute resources
