OpenEvolve: Teaching LLMs to Discover Algorithms Through Evolution How do we teach machines to discover algorithms? Traditional approaches rely on hand-crafted heuristics, exhaustive search, or gradient-based optimization. But what if we could harness the creative potential of large language models (LLMs) within an evolutionary framework? OpenEvolve is an open-source evolutionary coding agent that integrates large language models into a quality-diversity search framework for algorithm discovery....
