This (probably) marks the final release where akimbo's NNUE is wholly original, I have spent (wasted?) hundreds of hours of compute generating training data on 6 threads, and really cannot be bothered to do any more of it, so future releases will likely use external data. I have thus incremented the major version number to indicate this, as well as the fact that akimbo now contains all of the biggest functional features (SMP, DFRC, etc).
Main Features
- NNUE Speedups
- A few small search improvements
- Replaced oldest data with new data
- New network, trained on 1.5bn positions with arch
(768x4hm -> 1024)x2 -> 1 - Full Changelog: v0.8.0...v1.0.0
Self-Play against v0.8.0
Couldn't be bothered to run a full progtest, it should hopefully scale better due to the larger network.
