Since April of last year, C++ has been running slightly faster, thanks to a new set of AI-conceived sorting algorithms.
These are tiny, tiny programs, he adds–totaling no more than a few dozen instructions in assembly code.
Overall, AlphaDev’s new C++ sorting algorithms are 1.7 percent more efficient than the prior methods.
Those improvements are thanks to reinforcement learning, which is the same approach used to help Deepmind’s AI master games like chess and Go.
But it’s not so good at producing novel, state-of-the-art solutions to coding challenges the AI has never seen before.
In other words, the technology doesn’t solve problems the AI hasn’t faced before.
The goal of this announcement is to demonstrate that C++ can be improved by using artificial intelligence
