Google’s AlphaEvolve: The AI agent that reclaimed 0.7% of Google’s compute – and how to copy it
1 min read
Summary
A recent paper by Google’s DeepMind has revealed new details about Alphaevolve, one of the company’s latest artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
Alphaevolve is an autonomous coding agent built to work with complex algorithms, and it already pays for itself inside Google’s data centres.
The AI system rewrites complex code and has already shattererd a 56-year record in matrix multiplication, saving the company $40mln in compute costs.
It achieves these feats through its architecture; a controller, fast-draft models, deep thinking models, automated evaluators and versioned memory, illustrating the kind of production-grade plumbing that makes autonomous agents safe to deploy at scale.
Google is yet to confirm a commercial release but has said that an early access programme is coming for academic partners, and broader availability is being explored.
