That doesn't match my recollection of the AlphaEvolve release.
Some people just read the "48 multiplications for a 4x4 matrix multiplications" part, and thought they found prior art at that performance or better. But they missed that the supposed prior art had tighter requirements on the contents of the matrix, which meant those algorithms were not usable for implementing a recursive divide and conquer algorithm for much larger matrix multiplications.
Here is a HN poster claiming to be one of the authors rebutting the claim of prior art: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43997136 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43997136
