ShinkaEvolve

Evolve and optimize code automatically with LLM-driven program search

Evolves programs automatically by combining LLM mutations with evolutionary search to improve code performance. Scaffolds new optimization tasks, converts existing codebases into evolvable projects, runs batched evolution, and extracts top solutions. Removes manual trial-and-error tuning so agents can optimize algorithms, solvers, and scientific code with measurable scores.
