Google DeepMind’s new AI coding tool can solve complex math problems, design algorithms

Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) research lab DeepMind has unveiled an advanced agent, AlphaEvolve, which can target fundamental and complex mathematics and computing problems.

It has the versatility of large language models (LLMs), which can summarise documents, generate code, and generate new ideas. It also goes a step ahead by verifying answers through automated evaluators.

One of the major threats facing the nascent AI world is hallucinations by chatbots. What AlphaEvolve does is that it uses LLMs to generate answers to prompts, and…
