The system was given a seed planning program and three years of historical data, then autonomously generated and refined algorithms to simulate supply chain behavior. After thousands of experiments, AlphaEvolve achieved over 80% relative improvement in accuracy versus the baseline model, successfully discovering domain-specific rules around production consolidation, dynamic safety stocks, and network-wide coordination. BASF plans to expand this into a full digital twin of their entire global production network for scenario forecasting and optimization. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
