AlphaEvolve puts generated algorithms to the test

Google DeepMind introduced AlphaEvolve, a coding agent that combines language models with automated evaluation and an evolutionary search process.

Its reported applications include data-center scheduling, chip design, and AI training. The interesting pattern is the feedback loop:

1. Propose a candidate.
2. Run a measurable evaluation.
3. Keep useful improvements and iterate.

Ideas are cheap; reliable evaluation is the multiplier.
