Hi Robert! I would love to see more development on the engine and the neural nets. There are plenty of questions that could be asked when it comes to neural net topology and training methods. However, from my point of view based on my experience, I think the quality of a neural net evaluation

I scrolled back through the archives and it seems like it has been a while since gnubg got smarter. I have always suspected that the only thing holding gnubg back was an obscene amount of compute. A large single model should be able to outperform a bunch of essentially disconnected specialized
