# Google DeepMinds LLM Designed an Algorithm That Beat Human Experts Then Picked a Number That Exactly Matched a Process It Never Saw - Date: 2026-04-04 - Category: Artificial Intelligence A footnote in a new DeepMind paper: Gemini 2.5 Pro was asked to design a better learning algorithm and chose to delay a key step until iteration 500, without knowing the evaluation ran to 1,000. The algorithm still beat human-designed baselines in 10 of 11 games. ---
