AlphaEvolve: How Gemini-Powered Code Evolution Solves Intractable Optimizations

AlphaEvolve: the Gemini-powered coding agent that turns your “good-enough” algorithm into a world-beater — while you sleep What exactly did Google just release? AlphaEvolve is a fully-managed Google Cloud service that wraps Gemini models inside an evolutionary loop to mutate, test and breed better algorithms without human intervention. If you can write a seed program and a scoring function, it will return code that outperforms your hand-tuned version in days, not quarters. 1. Why brute-force search is dead for real-world optimization Core question: “My combinatorial space is astronomical — why can’t I just grid-search or throw more VMs at it?” …
