Galapagos v0.3 is here

The biggest release yet. One small API — load a scaffold, a model, and a task with .from_card(...) — now drives every reference method through the same six-component loop.

Hub

16 reference methods now in the Hub

OpenEvolve, ShinkaEvolve, GEPA, DGM, CoRaL and more — sixteen published methods (plus trivial baselines), each expressed as a choice of Population, SelectionPolicy, PromptBuilder, Proposer, Evaluator, and Memory. Browse every scaffold card, inspect which implementation fills each slot, and load any of them in five lines.

Platform

The Leaderboard & domain-expert verification are live

Submit a discovered solution — a scaffold, a model, and a score on a task — and have it reviewed by domain experts before it lands. Accepted, pending, and rejected results are all visible, so the Leaderboard reflects verified discoveries, not just claimed numbers.

Product

Compose your own scaffold in the Playground

Snap the six blocks together in the browser, point them at a task, and watch better solutions emerge iteration by iteration. The Playground runs the same loop as the library — a hands-on way to build, tweak, and understand a scaffold before you ever write a line of Python.
