“You can see it as a sort of super coding agent,” says Pushmeet Kohli, a vice president at Google DeepMind who leads its AI for Science teams. Google DeepMind claims the company has been using this new software across all of its data centers for more than a year, freeing up 0.7% of Google's total computing resources. He says the way AlphaEvolve searches for algorithms that produce specific solutions—rather than searching for the solutions themselves—makes it especially powerful. “AI is becoming a tool that will be essential in mathematics and computer science.”AlphaEvolve continues a line of work that Google DeepMind has been pursuing for years. “Algorithms run the world around us, so the impact of that is huge,” says Matej Balog, a researcher at Google DeepMind who leads the algorithm discovery team.
