Summary

Introduces Nevergrad as an open-source platform for black-box and derivative-free optimization, collecting optimizers, benchmark tooling, and practical interfaces in one package. The article is less a theoretical algorithm paper than a software reference for experimentation across noisy, parallel, discrete, continuous, structured, and multiobjective optimization settings.
