"The startup was founded by Alhussein Fawzi and Bernardino Romera-Paredes, who worked on Google's coding agent, AlphaEvolve, during its early stages, along with Hamza Fawzi, a University of Cambridge professor. "What really differentiates companies is the algorithms they use under the hood," Alhussein Fawzi, the CEO of Hiverge, told Business Insider. "And so what we are doing at Hiverge is designing smart algorithms that go beyond existing algorithms - automatically.""
"Engineers can submit a request to improve code on the startup's platform, "The Hive," which it refers to as an "algorithm factory." It uses a technique called program synthesis, in which AI generates an algorithm to meet clearly specified functions, rather than being told how to create it. Alhussein Fawzi gave the example of instructing the technology to shorten AI model training times by refining existing algorithms, but it could also apply to other areas, like improving runtime for supply chain software."
Hiverge is a Cambridge startup founded by former Google DeepMind scientists Alhussein Fawzi and Bernardino Romera-Paredes, alongside University of Cambridge professor Hamza Fawzi. The company raised $5 million to develop AI technology that automates algorithm design using program synthesis. Engineers submit requests on a platform called The Hive, described as an "algorithm factory," where AI generates algorithms to meet specified functions. Use cases include shortening AI model training times and improving runtime in supply chain software. Hiverge focuses on improving backend, verifiable code rather than general prompt-driven "vibe" coding. The company has been active since late 2024 and only recently emerged from stealth.
