This does seem similar to what has been done in the neural architecture search domain, doesn't it?
In my case, I'd mainly be interested in mathematics: I'd provide a mathematical problem and a baseline algorithm for it and would want an open source framework to be able to improve on that.
One of the researchers quoted in Nature link here... in the past, when DeepMind published "AlphaTensor" [1][2] in October 2022, it took a single day (!!), see [3], for improvements to the AlphaTensor-based scheme to be discovered. This was then a few months later generalized into a significantly more comprehensive scheme [4]. I do not know whether the more general scheme that was discovered in [4] made its way back to some improved version of AlphaTensor - but this nonetheless shows that AlphaEvolve may also change, as it becomes absorbed by the community.
