We’ve only scratched the surface of possible use cases of AlphaEvolve

I’m looking forward to many more applications across the sciences and computational problems

AlphaEvolve advanced over 10 open problems across Maths. But one is particularly precious to me:

It found the first improvement after 56 years to how fast we can multiply 4x4 matrices 🀯 (with complex number entries)

And it did so by discovering a sophisticated search algorithm

Also not the first time (nor the last) that DeepMind has improved a component of quantum computers! arxiv.org/abs/2402.14396
