We’ve deployed algorithms that AlphaEvolve discovered in key areas across Google: 1️⃣To make data centres more efficient - saving Google’s worldwide compute resources 2️⃣To improve TPU chip design 3️⃣To enhance AI training of Gemini - the model underpinning AlphaEvolve itself

Pushmeet Kohli1 year ago

AlphaEvolve discovered new efficient algorithm for matrix multiplication, a fundamental problem in Computer Science, improving Strassen's method that has stood for 50 years. Applied to 50 open Math problems, it matched the best known answers 75% of the time and improved on 20%.

New AI Package with DeepSeek AI Model TesseractAI continues to expand and improve our Custom AI Agent. You will now be able to add AI packages to your agent in addition to custom information. 🌟 This new feature is being developed using #DeepSeek AI model. In particular, DeepSeek R1 is designed for greater efficiency and more goal-oriented tasks, requiring fewer computational resources while still delivering powerful results. Additionally, we’re experimenting with DeepSeek’s technology for our existing Agent LLM to further enhance performance. Our goal is to make the Custom AI Agent even more efficient and effective for all your needs.

Demis Hassabis clarifies that while DeepMind is exploring powerful AI systems, the goal is not to trigger an uncontrolled intelligence explosion. Instead, his team is experimenting with combining evolutionary programming and foundation models to explore how self-improving systems might evolve—carefully and responsibly.

Introducing ALE-Bench, ALE-Agent! Towards Automating Long-Horizon Algorithm Engineering for Hard Optimization Problems Blog: Paper: ALE-Bench is a coding benchmark primarily focused on hard optimization (NP-hard) problems. We developed this benchmark with AtCoder Inc., a leading coding contest platform company. What makes ALE-Bench unique is its focus on hard optimization problems that demand long-horizon and creative reasoning. It’s open-ended, in the sense that true optima are out of reach (NP-hard) and scores can continuously improve. We believe this benchmark has the potential to become one of the key benchmarks for reasoning and coding in the next generation. ALE-Agent is our end-to-end agent that we specifically designed for this challenging domain. In fact, our ALE-Agent has already built an impressive track record in the wild! In May 2025, our agent participated in a live AtCoder Heuristic Competition (AHC), alongside 1,000 other participants in real-time. AHC is considered to be one of the most challenging coding competitions in this domain. Our ALE-Agent achieved an impressive ranking of 21st out of 1,000 human participants in the competition (top 2%), marking a turning point for AI discovery of solutions to hard optimization problems with a wide spectrum of important real world applications such as logistics, routing, packing, factory production planning, power-grid balancing. We look forward to applying this technology to real industrial optimization opportunities. Building on the insights from this study, Sakana AI will continue to tackle the challenge of developing AI with even greater algorithm engineering capabilities. ALE-Bench Dataset: ALE-Bench Code: This research was conducted in collaboration with AtCoder Inc. (AtCoder). We are deeply grateful for their outstanding expertise and contributions in optimization and algorithms, which were invaluable in providing data, analyzing results, and enabling our AI agent’s participation in their contests.

Demis Hassabis says hallucination isn't always a bug. It can be a tool for creativity. To solve hard problems with AlphaEvolve, DeepMind forced the models to hallucinate. Most ideas were nonsense but some turned out to be useful. "You can substitute the word hallucination for imagination at that point. They're obviously two sides of the same coin."

Here we go: Gemini 3.0 is live! Thankfully, I was able to be an early tester. It's the best model I've ever tested - nothing comes even close to it. OpenAI will have a very hard time to keep up with Google, because Gemini 3.0 will now be the benchmark for all future models. I have been invited by Google DeepMind / Google - Thanks to Google DeepMind for the #EarlyAccess Here's a summary of Gemini 3.0 with all the important benchmark evals:
