A year ago, we introduced AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered coding agent for designing advanced algorithms. We showed that AlphaEvolve can help make new discoveries on open problems across mathematics and computer science, and optimize algorithms that have since been deployed across critical parts of Google’s infrastructure.
Today, because algorithms are part of nearly every aspect of life, the landscape of what AlphaEvolve can achieve is even broader. From helping explain the physics of the natural world to powering electricity grids and computing infrastructure, there are countless ways AlphaEvolve can help accelerate progress for scientists and businesses across a variety of fields.
We’re excited to share a collection of AlphaEvolve’s most significant impact to date.
Driving social impact and sustainability
AlphaEvolve has helped uncover key connections in health and sustainability research.
In genomics, AlphaEvolve was used to improve DeepConsensus—a model developed by Google Research for correcting DNA sequencing errors— achieving a 30% reduction in variant detection errors. These improvements are helping scientists at PacBio analyze genetic data more accurately and at a lower cost.
_“The solution the Google team discovered using AlphaEvolve unlocks meaningfully higher accuracy rates for our sequencing instruments. For researchers, this higher-quality data might enable the discovery of previously hidden disease causing mutations.”_ — Aaron Wenger, Senior Director at PacBio
In grid optimization, AlphaEvolve was applied to the AC Optimal Power Flow problem. It helped increase the ability of our trained Graph Neural Network (GNN) model to find feasible solutions for the problem from 14% to over 88%, significantly reducing the need for other costly post-processing steps for electricity grids.
In earth sciences, AlphaEvolve translated complex geospatial data into more reliable, actionable insights. By helping automate the optimization of Earth AI models, the overall accuracy of predicting the risk of natural disaster—aggregated across 20 categories such as wildfires, floods, and tornadoes—was increased by 5%.
Advancing the frontiers of research
AlphaEvolve is serving as a powerful research partner, accelerating discovery across the sciences.
In quantum physics, AlphaEvolve’s optimizations have made it possible to run complex molecular simulations on Google’s Willow quantum processor by suggesting quantum circuits with 10x lower error than previous conventionally optimized baselines. This has enabled immediate impactful contributions to first-of-a-kind experimental demonstrations of quantum computing — and it points toward a future where AlphaEvolve helps find algorithms that exceed the capabilities of classical computers.
Working with world-renowned mathematicians like Terence Tao, the system has helped solve Erdős problems.
_“Tools such as AlphaEvolve are giving mathematicians very useful new capabilities. For optimization problems in particular, we can now quickly test potential inequalities for counterexamples, or to confirm our beliefs in what the extremizers are, which greatly improves our intuition about these problems and allows us to find rigorous proofs more readily.” —_ Terence Tao, Professor of Mathematics at UCLA
AlphaEvolve has also broken records for classic mathematical challenges, including improving lower bounds for the Traveling Salesman Problem and Ramsey Numbers.
Furthermore, this capacity for autonomous discovery is driving parallel innovations across other diverse domains — from discovering interpretable neuroscience models and proving new market limits in microeconomics, to rapidly advancing neural network building blocks, cryptography for user privacy, synthetic data generation, and critical safety mitigations for frontier AI models.

Improving AI infrastructure
AlphaEvolve has graduated from pilot testing to becoming a core component of our infrastructure. AlphaEvolve has been used as a regular tool to optimize the design of the next generation of TPUs. It also helped discover more efficient cache replacement policies, achieving in two days what previously required a concerted, human-intensive effort spanning months.
“_AlphaEvolve began optimizing the lowest levels of hardware powering our AI stacks. It proposed a circuit design so counterintuitive yet efficient that it was integrated directly into the silicon of our next-generation TPUs. This is the latest example of TPU brains helping design next-generation TPU bodies._” — Jeff Dean, Chief Scientist, Google DeepMind and Google Research
AlphaEvolve improved the efficiency of Google Spanner by refining its Log-Structured Merge-tree compaction heuristics. This optimization reduced 'write amplification'—the ratio of data written to storage versus the original request—by 20%. It also provided insights for new compiler optimization strategies that reduced the storage footprint of software by nearly 9%.
Scaling commercial applications
Together with Google Cloud, we are now bringing the power of AlphaEvolve to a variety of commercial enterprises across industries.
- In financial services, Klarna used the system to optimize one of its largest transformer models — doubling its training speed whilst improving model quality.
- In semiconductor manufacturing, Substrate applied AlphaEvolve to its computational lithography framework, achieving a multi-fold increase in runtime speed, enabling them to run significantly larger simulations of advanced semiconductors.
- In logistics, FM Logistic used the technology to optimize complex routing challenges like the Traveling Salesman Problem, finding 10.4% improvement in routing efficiency over the previous heavily optimized solutions — saving over 15,000 kilometers of distance travelled annually.
- In advertising and marketing, WPP used AlphaEvolve to refine AI model components, navigating complex, high-dimensional campaign data and achieving 10% accuracy gains over their competitive manual model optimizations.
- In computational material and life sciences, Schrödinger applied AlphaEvolve to achieve a roughly 4x speedup in both Machine Learned Force Fields (MLFF) training and inference.
_“AlphaEvolve allows us to explore larger chemical spaces faster and more efficiently than ever before. Faster MLFF inference carries real business impact, shortening R&D cycles in drug discovery, catalyst design, and materials development, and enabling companies to screen molecular candidates in days rather than months.”_ — Gabriel Marques, Technical Lead of Machine Learning at Schrödinger.
The future of AlphaEvolve
The past year shows how AlphaEvolve is rapidly becoming a versatile, general-purpose system. It is demonstrating that the next breakthroughs will be driven by algorithms that can learn, evolve and optimize themselves. As we look ahead, we are excited to expand these capabilities, and bring the power of this technology to an even broader set of external challenges.
