Found a really amazing video , providing context to the breakthrough as well as the misconceived hype around Alphaevolve

I am sure by now most of us would have seen or atleast heard about AlphaEvolve and it’s many breakthroughs including the 4*4 MM improvement. While this was a fantastic step forward in constrained optimisation problems , a lot of the commentary around it in media was absolutely garbage.

The original paper is an amazing read, however I was scouring the internet to find videos by people who understood it at a better depth than I did. That’s where I came across this gem.

It’s long watch at around 40 mins, but is extremely well structured and not too heavy on math ( grad level at best). Would highly recommend watching this!
