AI Discovers 70% Faster Sorting Algorithm Optimization
By
–
This is awesome. 70% faster on such a basic task of sorting that we all learn early on as programmers. Super exciting to see AI find major speed ups in algorithms and libraries we all rely on.

AlphaDev discovers faster sorting algorithm for C++ library
By
–
Our latest work in @Nature today: #AlphaDev discovered a new faster sorting algorithm that we open sourced to the main C++ library for all developers to use. This is just the beginning of AI being used to find many more efficiencies in code in future http://
