I would be surprised if my model ever lost to GNU Go on 9x9. It's a lot
stronger than Fuego, which already stomps GNU Go. It would be a waste of
time to test it vs. GNU Go or even MCTS bots. I only plan on running tests
vs. current best models to see how it does against the state of the art 9x9
Thanks again for your thoughts and experiences Rémi and Igor.
I'm still puzzled by what is making training slower for me than Rémi (although
I wouldn't be surprised if Igor's results were faster when matched for
hardware, model size, strength etc-- see below). Certainly komi sounds like it
I trained using David Wu's code for a few months on 9x9 only and it's been
superhuman after a few months.
I'm not sure if anyone's interested, but I can release my network to the
world. It's around the strength of KataGo, but only on 9x9. I could do a
final test before releasing it into the wild
Yes, using komi would help a lot. Still, I feel that something else must be
wrong, because winning 100% of the games as Black without komi should be
very easy on 7x7.
I have not written anything about what I did with Crazy Stone. But my
experiments and ideas were really very similar to what David
