According to Sundar Pichai on Twitter, Google has launched AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered coding agent that aids engineers and researchers in discovering new algorithms and optimizations for open math and computer science problems. Notably, AlphaEvolve has improved data center efficiency, recovering 0.7% of fleet-wide compute resources (source: Sundar Pichai, Twitter, May 14, 2025). This breakthrough in compute optimization could significantly impact crypto mining operations and blockchain infrastructure, where energy efficiency and computational power are critical to profitability and network security.
