We are going deeper into DeepMind's AlphaEvolve. The knowledge section continues with our series about evals by diving into multimodal benchmarks. Our opinion section will discuss practical tips about using AI for coding. The engineering will review another cool AI framework. DeepMind has done it away and shipped another model that pushes the boudaries of what we consider possible with AI. AlphaEvolve is a groundbreaking AI system that redefines algorithm discovery by merging large language models with evolutionary optimization. It builds upon prior efforts like AlphaTensor, but significantly broadens the scope: instead of evolving isolated heuristics or functions, AlphaEvolve can evolve entire codebases. The system orchestrates a feedback loop where an ensemble of LLMs propose modifications to candidate programs, which are then evaluated against a target objective. Promising solutions are preserved and recombined in future generations, driving continual innovation. This...
