AlphaEvolve uses large language models to find new algorithms that outperform the best human-made solutions for data center management, chip design, and more.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind unit today detailed AlphaEvolve, an artificial intelligence agent that can tackle complex programming and math challenges. The company says that it has used AlphaEvolve to make its data centers more efficient. Additionally, the AI agent is showing promise as a tool for mathematical research and chip development.

The agent, called AlphaEvolve, is powered by Gemini and is designed to discover and optimize algorithms, while building “upon the most promising ideas.” Google says AlphaEvolve has helped the company make its data centers,
