Open-source implementation of AlphaEvolve
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
OpenEvolve is an open-source implementation of Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve. It uses LLMs to mutate programs and evolves them with MAP-Elites and island populations, so you can point it at any problem you can score. It has become a standard tool and baseline for LLM-driven algorithm discovery: cited in hundreds of research papers, with 7,600+ GitHub stars, 1,200+ forks, 80+ contributors and 17,000+ monthly PyPI downloads.
