AlphaEvolve

AI‑Powered Algorithm Design & Discovery leveraging Google Gemini models and evolutionary coding.

Unveiling AlphaEvolve

A Gemini‑Powered Evolutionary Coding Agent
AlphaEvolve is a pioneering evolutionary coding agent fuelled by Google’s advanced Gemini models. Engineered for algorithm discovery and optimisation, it evolves entire codebases to tackle complex problems in mathematics, computer science, and beyond.
Evolutionary Framework in Action
An ensemble of Gemini Flash and Gemini Pro proposes programs that are rigorously verified, run, and scored by automated evaluators. Promising ideas survive and improve through an evolutionary loop, driving continuous discovery.

Ground‑breaking Discoveries

Revolutionising Matrix Multiplication
AlphaEvolve discovered a 4×4 complex‑matrix algorithm that needs only 48 scalar multiplications—beating Strassen’s 1969 record and improving 14 other algorithms.
Advancing Open Mathematical Problems
Across 50+ open problems, AlphaEvolve rediscovered state‑of‑the‑art answers in ~75 % of cases and improved 20 %, including a new lower bound for the 11‑D kissing‑number problem.

Real‑World Impact

Optimising Google’s Computing Ecosystem
By generating a simple, human‑readable heuristic for Borg scheduling, AlphaEvolve recovered ~0.7 % of global compute resources. In TPU hardware design, it produced a leaner Verilog rewrite validated by chip engineers.
Accelerating AI Development
AlphaEvolve delivered a 23 % speed‑up in a key Gemini matrix‑multiplication kernel and up to 32.5 % in FlashAttention, shrinking engineering cycles from weeks to days.

Inside AlphaEvolve

Advanced Gemini Models
Gemini Flash maximises idea breadth with speed, while Gemini Pro contributes depth and creativity—together forming a potent synergy for code generation.
Evolutionary Framework & Automated Evaluation
Inspired by MAP‑Elites and island models, AlphaEvolve iteratively scores and refines program variants, ensuring only correct, high‑performing solutions progress.

The Horizon

A New Paradigm for Human‑AI Collaboration
AlphaEvolve empowers researchers to confront previously intractable problems, accelerating the pace of discovery and innovation.
Expanding Access
An Early‑Access Program for academic partners is in the works, with broader availability under exploration—opening doors to material science, drug discovery, sustainability and beyond.
