Google made its AlphaEvolve code optimisation agent generally available to all Google Cloud customers on Thursday, following results including a 10 percent routing gain for logistics firm FM Logistic.
The tool, built on Google’s Gemini models, does not write software from a blank page. Instead it takes an existing algorithm, along with a scoring method the customer defines, then generates and tests thousands of variations until it finds one that measurably outperforms the original. Google calls the process evolutionary because each improved version becomes the starting point for the next round of changes.
Early access customers named by Google put numbers behind that pitch. FM Logistic used the tool to refine warehouse routing and cut travel distances by more than 15,000 kilometres, a gain of 10.4 percent on what the company called an already tightly optimised baseline. Group Chief Information Officer Rodolphe Bey said the improvement meant “faster fulfillment, improved working conditions for our teams.”
Dutch retailer Coolblue applied AlphaEvolve to its 28 day demand forecasting pipeline and improved accuracy by more than 5 percent after roughly 200 iterations, according to Google, by refining feature selection and combining several forecasting models. Chipmaker Infineon has been testing the system across stages of chip development, including surrogate modelling, while BASF used it to build a supply chain digital twin after earlier attempts with fixed rule based models failed.
Google said it has also turned the tool on its own infrastructure. Inside the company, AlphaEvolve has helped design circuits for newer Tensor Processing Units and sped up a key step in Gemini’s own training process by 23 percent, contributing to a 1 percent cut in overall training time, according to the company’s research publications on the system.
The wider release follows a private preview that began in December 2025. Google previously named BASF, JetBrains and Kinaxis among the organisations that used that early version to work through problems the companies described as previously unsolved. Access now runs through the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, where AlphaEvolve sits alongside Google’s other enterprise agent tools rather than as a standalone product.
