Autonomous AI Is Here: From Algorithm Architects to Code Companions

May 19th 2025 | Superintelligence Newsletter

Hey Superintelligence Fam 👋

The future isn’t waiting - it’s coding itself. This week, Google’s AlphaEvolve and OpenAI’s Codex offered a thrilling glimpse into autonomous AI: machines building algorithms and software with minimal human input.

Beyond automation, we’re witnessing AI as autonomous problem-solvers. From algorithm discovery to software engineering and reasoning without training data - AI is now learning, building, and iterating like never before. The paradigm has shifted.

• Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve: Advancing Algorithm Discovery : Google DeepMind introduces AlphaEvolve, a Gemini-powered AI agent capable of autonomously designing advanced algorithms and solving complex mathematical problems, enhancing efficiency in data centers and AI training processes.

• OpenAI's Codex: Revolutionizing Software Engineering : OpenAI launches Codex, a cloud-based AI coding agent integrated into ChatGPT, enabling developers to automate tasks like code generation, debugging, and testing within a secure virtual environment, thereby streamlining software development workflows.

• OpenAI's HealthBench: Evaluating AI in Healthcare : OpenAI unveils HealthBench, a comprehensive benchmark designed to assess AI models in healthcare through 5,000 realistic medical conversations, graded by physicians, to ensure safety, accuracy, and real-world applicability in clinical settings.

• The Leaderboard Illusion : This study uncovers systemic flaws in Chatbot Arena's leaderboard, highlighting how private testing, data asymmetries, and opaque model removals distort LLM rankings, potentially hindering genuine scientific progress.

• Llama-Nemotron: Efficient Reasoning Models : NVIDIA introduces the Llama-Nemotron series—LN-Nano (8B), LN-Super (49B), and LN-Ultra (253B)—open-source models excelling in reasoning tasks with superior inference efficiency and a dynamic reasoning toggle feature.

• Absolute Zero: Reinforced Self-play Reasoning with Zero Data : Absolute Zero presents a novel framework where LLMs self-generate and solve reasoning tasks without human-curated data, achieving state-of-the-art performance in coding and mathematical reasoning through self-play and verifiable feedback.

• Guidde.co : Create AI-powered how-to videos instantly! Guidde lets you capture workflows, auto-generate voiceovers, and share guides seamlessly. Perfect for onboarding, SOPs, and training—free browser extension included!

• OpenAI Codex : Codex transforms natural language into working code across dozens of programming languages, empowering developers to automate tasks, build apps, and enhance productivity through conversational AI coding.

• Figma Sites : Figma Sites lets teams design and publish beautiful, responsive websites collaboratively—without coding. Create, iterate, and launch pixel-perfect web pages directly from Figma’s powerful design interface.
