Part 5/13:
Perhaps most groundbreaking is Alpha Evolve’s role in scientific discovery. It developed a novel matrix multiplication algorithm that multiplies two 44-element matrices using just 48 scalar multiplications, surpassing a 56-year-old milestone in linear algebra. This is a fundamental mathematical breakthrough, potentially impacting fields from quantum physics to computer graphics. Furthermore, Alpha Evolve rediscovered and improved solutions to over 75% of a suite of 50 open-ended mathematical challenges, pushing the frontiers of knowledge itself.
