Google’s AlphaEvolve SHOCKING Ability
AI Summary
Google DeepMind has launched Alpha Evolve, an advanced AI coding agent powered by Gemini, designed to enhance algorithms. Alpha Evolve improves existing algorithms, such as the Strassen algorithm, which has been used since 1969 for matrix multiplication. Notably, it discovered a method that achieves this using only 48 multiplications for 4x4 complex-valued matrices. This is significant as no improvements had been found in over 50 years. Additionally, Alpha Evolve optimized a sophisticated arithmetic circuit for matrix multiplication, demonstrating the potential for AI to create advanced solutions and even ‘build’ subsequent AI iterations.
