AlphaEvolve: DeepMind’s Gemini-Powered AI That Invents Algorithms and Breaks a 56-Year Record
In mid-2025, Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaEvolve, an AI coding agent that uses Google’s Gemini LLMs, an evolutionary search process, and automated testing to autonomously design and improve algorithms. AlphaEvolve generates, tests, and evolves programs in an autonomous pipeline, refining entire codebases rather than a
