Google AlphaEvolve - Discovering new science (exclusive interview)
AlphaEvolve found a 48-multiplication algorithm for general 4×4 matrix multiplication, surpassing Strassen’s 49 and showing that evolutionary search can compound verified partial improvements rather than merely sample an LLM more often.At Google, evolved scheduling recovered an average 0.7% of fleet-wide compute, while another change sped training of the next Gemini version by 1%.Scaling remains bounded by evaluator costs, fixed time budgets, specialized domain knowledge, and an unclosed reinforcement-learning loop for distilling evolutionary discoveries into future base models.
