Gurobi was only founded in 2008. I don't doubt the optimizer was the result of "decades of incremental improvements", but the actual implementation must have been started relatively recently.
- christina97 3y agoIt was founded by some of the key people behind CPLEX (another solver, founded in 1987). In fact, one of the cofounders of Gurobi was a cofounder of CPLEX prior. They brought decades of knowledge with them.
