AlphaEvolve verifies, runs and scores the proposed programs using automated evaluation metrics. These metrics provide an objective, quantifiable assessment of each solution’s accuracy and quality.

Yeah, that’s the way genetic algorithms have worked for decades. Have they figured out a way to turn those evaluation metrics directly into code improvements, or do they just keep doing a bunch of rounds of trial and error?

Can't wait for my boss to come up with half a working solution with this and expect me to fix/finish it!

It’s just the name of Google’s AI division.

It used to be a separate company. They're the ones who did AlphaZero and AlphaFold too, kind of a big deal at the time.

AlphaFold still a big deal, was big part of reason behind recent Nobel Prizes. Used (and misused) by a lot of scientists.
