DeepMind Unveils AlphaEvolve, a Breakthrough AI for Algorithm Discovery
- Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaEvolve, a new AI coding agent designed for algorithm discovery, on 14 May 2025 in a preprint release.
- AlphaEvolve builds on prior DeepMind projects like AlphaTensor and AlphaDev, advancing a line of AI systems targeting algorithmic improvements in math and computing.
- AlphaEvolve uses an evolutionary approach combined with Gemini language models to produce and evaluate complex code, making it more capable than earlier AI systems like FunSearch.
- The system freed up 0.7% of Google’s global computing resources and reduced AI training time by 1%, with DeepMind calling it a “super coding agent” that has had substantial impact.
- AlphaEvolve’s deployment suggests broader AI roles in optimizing infrastructure and tackling scientific problems, with DeepMind planning early academic access ahead of wider rollout.
