For the last week, I found myself reading the AlphaEvolve paper again and again, every time finding new fascinating details. Without exageration, I think AlphaEvolve might be one of the most important AI breakthroughs of the last year. The path to AGI might take many forms but one of those could be AI discovering new AIs which means discovering new algorithms. This is what AlphaEvolve does. How' Let's dive in. The convergence of evolutionary algorithms and large language models (LLMs) is unlocking unprecedented advances in scientific and algorithmic discovery. In their recent white paper, AlphaEvolve: A Coding Agent for Scientific and Algorithmic Discovery, DeepMind introduces a novel agent that orchestrates LLMs within an evolutionary framework to autonomously generate and refine algorithms. By integrating test-time feedback loops and leveraging frontier LLMs, AlphaEvolve not only produces mathematically significant results but also delivers practical improvements to Google's...
