How do you think this automated tuning affected Wasp's offensive middlegame style ?

The obvious question is why SF classical isn't performing much closer to SF NNUE on high core count machine, then.

The new CCC hardware has both more cores and faster cores than before. And the GPU are definitely proving faster than 4xRTX2080Ti did for Leela. Both CPU and GPU engines are seeing a significant speed uplift, though of course there are always diminishing returns on more speed. Look at the specs for ...

Of course classical modifications are only tested now in situations where NNUE is not used (in default hybrid mode). So it will only become stronger where NNUE is less stronger than classical.

This is wrong. Classical eval patches are tested with NNUE off.

The raw centipawn error of a player is not enough of an indication of playing strength by itself, because it doesn't account for the quality of the moves from the opponent and the resulting complexity. I will get a much lower acpl against a 1000 elo player that I will crush than against a 2000 elo p...

"5950X @ 3.95Ghz" should mean all cores running constantly at the specified clockspeed, no boosting up and down.

Your RAM config will also have some impact on performance.

Hi,

I am sure they will release everything - wait some days. The opening book integration is just a few hours old.

I am REALLY excited about this project! I am so curious what comes next?

The project is very impressive, but... near undetectable online cheating comes next.

So you agree that x86 is going the way of the light bulb.

I take you not bothering to answer to my message as meaning that you have not a single counterpoint to what I said.

The Apple ARM chips were underhyped. They beat all expectations. Do you think one or two x86 die shrinks will give 10x better performance per Watt? If you buy Apple, you obviously pay for the brand name, but you also pay for a build quality that you won't find in an Asus gaming laptop. Apple laptop...

Maia is based on Leela.

This is fundamentally a way to produce a weaker Leela network that are good at predicting the moves of a weaker chess playing entity.

I don't think this is an effective approach at approximating a strong classical engine.
