What Is AlphaEvolve?

Google’s cutting-edge AI agent that creates smarter algorithms using Gemini language models. It mimics evolution — generating, testing, and improving code automatically to solve tough problems in computing and math.

Where It's Making a Difference

• Data Centers: Improved resource scheduling, recovering 0.7% of compute power.

• Chip Design: Helped refine AI processors for faster, more efficient performance.

• AI Training: Reduced training time for Gemini by 1%.

• Math Breakthroughs: Found new solutions to long-unsolved problems, like matrix multiplication and the kissing number puzzle.

How It Works

It combines Gemini language models for creativity and automated evaluators for precision. It works like evolution — generating code ideas, testing them, keeping the best ones, and repeating. Two models work together:

• Gemini Flash explores a wide range of ideas quickly.

• Gemini Pro dives deep to refine and improve the best ones.
  This process lets AlphaEvolve evolve full programs, not just single functions, and judge which versions perform best using real-world metrics.
