Google DeepMind’s new AI agent uses large language models to crack
real-world problems
AlphaEvolve finds new algorithms that outperform the best human-made
solutions for data center management, chip design, and more.

Google DeepMind's new tool, called AlphaEvolve, uses the Gemini 2.0
family of large language models (LLMs) to produce code for a wide
range of different tasks. LLMs are known to be hit and miss at coding.
The twist here is that AlphaEvolve scores each of Gemini’s
suggestions, throwing out the bad and tweaking the good, in an
iterative process, until it has produced the best algorithm it can. In
many cases, the results are more efficient or more accurate than the
best existing (human-written) solutions.
