Google DeepMind unveils AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered AI coding agent that designs and optimizes advanced algorithms
AlphaEvolve: A Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithms
What is deep mind?
It’s just the name of Google’s AI division.
It used to be a separate company. They're the ones who did AlphaZero and AlphaFold too, kind of a big deal at the time.
Yeah, in typical Google fashion they used to have two deep learning teams: Google Brain and DeepMind. Google Brain was Google's in-house team, responsible for inventing the transformer. DeepMind focused more on RL agents than Google Brain, hence discoveries like AlphaZero and AlphaFold.
AlphaFold still a big deal, was big part of reason behind recent Nobel Prizes. Used (and misused) by a lot of scientists.
