The new version of AlphaZero discovered a faster way to do matrix multiplication, a core problem in computing that affects thousands of everyday computer tasks. DeepMind has used its board-game ...

Among the most common tools in electrical engineering and computer science are rectangular grids of numbers known as matrices. The numbers in a matrix can represent data, and they can also represent ...

DeepMind has done it again. But more impressive is how they did it. The record-breaking algorithm, dubbed AlphaTensor, is a spinoff of AlphaZero, which famously trounced human players in chess and Go.
