Add AlgoTune tasks for OpenEvolve

[richardcsuwandi]

This PR integrates AlgoTune tasks into OpenEvolve.

Key Additions

• Task Adapter: Converts AlgoTune tasks to OpenEvolve format
• Full Coverage: Supports all 155 AlgoTune tasks
• Unified Workflow: Consistent setup via initial_program.py, evaluator.py, and config.yaml

Implementation

• Pulls task config from AlgoTune’s registry
• Generates evolution-ready code with EVOLVE-BLOCK markers
• Builds evaluators for correctness and performance
• Maps AlgoTune parameters to OpenEvolve settings

Example: SVM Task

python create_task.py svm
python ../../../openevolve-run.py ./initial_program.py ./evaluator.py --config ./config.yaml --output openevolve_output/

Hi thank you so much for doing this! Did you obtain any results that beat the ones in the paper?

@ofirpress Thank you for creating such a great benchmark! I'm still running experiments on it, so I don't have results yet, but it's been interesting so far. Would be cool to see others try it too!

We did benchmark with AlgoTune recently, here are some early results - https://huggingface.co/blog/driaforall/towards-open-evolutionary-agents

@codelion Super cool!!! Looking forward to what you'll discover next there.

@richardcsuwandi we do not need the full source of all the algotune tasks we can just clone the repo and then use your create_task.py to adapt the task. Can you remove all the existing tasks and update the script so that it can take the location of the algotune repo/folder that ways we can generate the openeolve programs and evaluators as needed.

@codelion Hi, thanks for the suggestions! I have refactored the AlgoTune task adapter to work with external AlgoTune repositories instead of maintaining duplicate task copies in the OpenEvolve repository.

I took over this PR to get algotune in the repo. Will be part of the new 0.1.1 release.

Thanks so much @codelion!
