AlphaEvolve — Evolutionary Coding Agents

Pair a frontier coding model with an evolutionary loop and a machine-checkable evaluator. Let the loop run long enough. It discovers a 4x4 complex-matrix multiplication procedure that uses 48 scalar multiplications — the first improvement over Strassen in 56 years. It also finds a Google-wide Borg scheduling heuristic that recovers ~0.7% of cluster compute in production. The architecture is boring on purpose. The wins come from the evaluator's rigor.
