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.

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

A new system that combines Gemini’s coding abilities with an evolutionary approach improves datacenter scheduling and chip design, and fine-tunes large language models.
