DeepMind's new AI coding engine "AlphaCode" is as good as human programmer

DeepMind has created a system called AlphaCode that writes computer programs at a competitive level.

AlphaCode achieved an estimated rank within the top 54% of participants in programming competitions by solving new problems that require a combination of critical thinking, logic, algorithms, coding, and natural language understanding.

AlphaCode uses transformer-based language models to generate code at an unprecedented scale, and then smartly filters to a small set of promising programs.
