Google DeepMind says its Gemini-powered coding agent AlphaEvolve has discovered a way to multiply two 4×4 complex-valued matrices using just 48 scalar multiplications, surpassing a benchmark that had stood since 1969. The result improves on the algorithm published by mathematician Volker Strassen, whose famous approach required 49 multiplications and had remained the reference point for this problem for 56 years.
