AlphaEvolve is a coding agent from Google DeepMind that uses Gemini models within an evolutionary loop to propose, evaluate and refine programs. It is aimed at scientific and algorithmic discovery problems where candidate solutions can be checked automatically. It is described in the technical report "AlphaEvolve: A coding agent for scientific and algorithmic discovery" (Novikov et al., 2025, arXiv:2506.13131).
The report covers results on open mathematical problems, where AlphaEvolve found constructions that outperform the best known ones in some instances. Google has also described applying it to its own infrastructure, including hardware and data-centre efficiency. A YouTube creator cites a gain of about 1% efficiency from its use on Google's hardware architecture, which is significant at Google's scale.
The linked GitHub repository, google-deepmind/alphaevolve_results, holds only a Colab notebook with the mathematical results from Section 3 of the paper and code to verify them. It does not contain the code to run AlphaEvolve itself. Software in the repository is Apache-2.0 and other materials are CC-BY 4.0. The README states it is not an official Google product. The provided material gives no public product pricing or general-access details.
