SkyDiscover: An Open Framework for LLM-Driven Algorithm Discovery

SkyDiscover modular discovery loop animation
We are open-sourcing SkyDiscover, a modular framework for AI-driven algorithm discovery.

Most prior systems (e.g., AlphaEvolve) are closed-source. Existing open implementations are monolithic and hard to extend. SkyDiscover decomposes the discovery loop into four swappable components:

  1. Context Builder
  2. Solution Generator
  3. Evaluator
  4. Selector

On top of this framework, we implemented:

  • AdaEvolve β€” adaptive search
  • EvoX β€” self-modifying search

Results (200+ Benchmarks)

Across math, systems, programming, and multimodal tasks:

  • +34% median on 172 Frontier-CS problems (vs prior open methods)
  • Matched/exceeded AlphaEvolve on several math + systems tasks
  • 41% lower cross-cloud transfer cost
  • 29% lower KV-cache pressure

SkyDiscover provides a clean interface for building, comparing, and extending discovery algorithms.
