Two years ago, Google launched AlphaCode, a robot code writer that was the first AI smart enough to be competitive in coding conferences. Computer engineers were among the earliest adopters of tools like ChatGPT, thanks to AI’s ability to translate ideas written in human language to machine-readable code.

Along with Gemini, Google’s releasing a new version of that tool called AlphaCode 2. According to the company, it “excels at solving competitive programming problems that go beyond coding to involve complex math and theoretical computer science.”
