the goal is to have an agent that can:

  • Understand a complex problem description.
  • Generate initial algorithmic solutions.
  • Rigorously test its own code.
  • Learn from failures and successes.
  • Evolve increasingly sophisticated and efficient algorithms over time.

I'm trying to figure out exactly what this does, seems like it's just some ABCs and a general framework for writing prompt loops with some logging glue?

All the code is placeholder in the actual agent modules.

If you skim the paper, Alpha Evolve is basically just a genetic algorithm which iterates on the output of the agents.
