By skyforbes I just saw the announcement that AlphaEvolve is now available as a Service API via an Early Access Program on Google Cloud.
For those who missed the DeepMind paper a few months back: this isn't just "generative AI" writing code. It’s an evolutionary agent. It uses Gemini to generate code mutations, tests them against a "ground truth" evaluator, and then selects the fittest code to breed the next generation.
The crazy part? Google claims they used it to:
- Optimize their own data center sorting algorithms (saving huge compute).
- Discover a better Matrix Multiplication algorithm than Strassen’s (which stood for 50+ years).
- Optimize the training kernels for Gemini itself (recursive self-improvement much?).
Has anyone here managed to get into the Early Access program?
