Activation functions as a target for automated research
A February 7, 2026 publication reports using AlphaEvolve to explore activation functions as part of broader research into new model architectures.

What happened and what to do
On February 7, 2026, a DeepMind publication reported that AlphaEvolve is being used to explore generalizable activation functions. The research is part of a broader effort to accelerate the discovery of new architectures; the publication does not detail specific performance results for these functions.
For a company developing models, a practical response is to structure comparable experiments: record tested functions, data versions, and configurations, track metrics and costs, and make results available in a dashboard. Automation can organize runs and flag promising candidates, while the team retains control of validation and safety criteria.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose an organization’s experimentation process and data requirements, propose a scoped implementation, and build evaluation pipelines, automations, and dashboards for tracking model tests. Operations can also be planned around the company’s infrastructure.
