TL;DR Summary

Google's DeepMind AI group has developed a reinforcement learning tool that can develop highly optimized sorting algorithms without being trained on human code examples. The AlphaDev system developed x86 assembly algorithms that treated the latency of the code as a score and tried to minimize that score while ensuring that the code ran to completion without errors. Through reinforcement learning, AlphaDev gradually develops the ability to write tight, highly efficient code.
