DeepMind's AI creates algorithms exceeding human capabilities

Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve, an AI system, has created algorithms that surpass human expertise in areas like datacenter scheduling and chip design. This marks a significant step in AI's ability to generate novel solutions. AlphaEvolve combines Gemini's coding skills with an evolutionary approach to test and refine algorithms. The system developed a more efficient matrix calculation method, outperforming the 56-year-old Strassen algorithm, and improved algorithms for AI model optimization. Researchers are confident that AlphaEvolve's solutions are truly novel, not just remixes of existing knowledge. This development highlights the potential of AI to generate innovative solutions across various fields.
