A fantastically simple solution to improving algorithms, I wish I had this years ago in activation engineering: https://blog.n.ichol.ai/llm-activation-engineering-an-easy-f...

How do I access AlphaEvolve?

This is just a flex post. Be a billion dollar company or get out.

They'll likely make it available at some point, but for now one can use OpenEvolve [0] which is not quite as good but should be a good start to use the same LLM-driven evolutionary framework.

Your link seems completely unrelated. Why would you suggest that?

Not sure what you mean: OpenEvolve is an open source implementation of AlphaEvolve: https://huggingface.co/blog/codelion/openevolve

Thanks, wasn't really apparent on the github page.
