## AI overview

AlphaGo's search-based approach is presented as a catalyst for scientific discovery beyond Go. The article highlights AlphaFold 2's impact on protein-structure prediction, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2's mathematical reasoning, Gemini's performance at the IMO, and AlphaEvolve's use of code search for algorithm discovery and optimization.
