Meet AlphaEvolve, the Google AI that writes its own code—and just saved millions in computing costs

Google's AI system AlphaEvolve has dramatically improved computational efficiency by discovering innovative algorithms for data center management. The system recovered 0.7% of worldwide computing resources by targeting "stranded resources" and generating human-readable code. By optimizing cluster scheduling and hardware design, AlphaEvolve has delivered significant performance gains across Google's infrastructure, including a 23% speedup in matrix multiplication for Gemini model training.
