LCZero Network question

[Eduard]

I downloaded the network 36089. It only has 11 MB. That's not much more than destilled networks, running well on CPU only! Question: Why is the network so small? (Normally these networks have around 40 MB)

Btw:
CCRL Rating list: Lc0 w36089 1 CPU 3022 Elo!

Not bad.

Not bad.

The short-lived NN35 series were just 128*10 blocks and filters.

Thanks, that's interesting. On only CPU running show my first tests in analysis mode that these networks (36088 and 36089) could be better than the distilled networks 11258.

Here for example (but I can post more). After 5 minutes thinking:

18...c4? is bad, it loses after 19. e4!.

18...Nh5 is here one of the best moves.

But I am surprised about the depth. Distilled network 11258 after 5 minutes only in depth 10/24, w36088 in depth 13/32! How can that be?

[Eduard]

Can someone explain me what the difference is between the 50xxx networks with 128x10 (eg NN 50052) and the 30xxx networks 128x10 (eg NN 36089)?

[yanquis1972]

i think 35xx+ were precursor training for t40. it was fully trained (all 4 LR drops) & in some way used to initialize T40 training. it should be much better on CPU than 256x20 nets since it's both mature & fast.

t50 i don't know anything about; it's got some new parameters & uses 10000 visits instead of the prescribed 800. i assume it's experimental in preparation for t60 (but T30 was an experimental run as well). it's very young & several hundred elo below T40 atm, even at 1'+1s TC.

Depth for Leela is an artificial estimate and not really like a/b engines.

I understand, thank you!
