AlphaEvolve Eats Its Own Infrastructure — AI Optimizes AI at Production Scale
Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve has spent a year autonomously optimizing Google's own infrastructure — and the results include a circuit design so unconventional it went directly into TPU silicon. Plus the AI-assisted GitOps pattern reaches production maturity, Arista expands its AI networking portfolio, and a quantum algorithm solves materials problems that would take classical computers a quadrillion floating-point operations.
Welcome to Amaze Networks for Monday, May eighteenth. Last week we watched source-of-truth platforms graduate to governance engines and change management get its git moment. This week opens with something in the same vein — except the system doing the optimization is the AI itself.
I want to jump right into the AlphaEvolve story, because I've been sitting with the one-year results all morning and there's a detail in there that I think most people are going to walk past.
Go for it — what's the detail?
