1.What Go AI does GoPilot use?
GoPilot uses the currently open-source Go AI: KataGo. KataGo was developed by Chinese-American David Wu, and its algorithm is improved and enhanced based on AlphaGo Zero. It is one of the most powerful Go AIs available. KataGo official website:https://github.com/lightvector/KataGo
2.Does it use mobile computing power or remote computing power?
GoPilot uses remote GPUs. Therefore, your phone's configuration will not affect the AI's performance. GoPilot's cloud has a large number of dedicated GPUs (such as RTX 3060, 3090, etc.), which are much more powerful than mobile devices. Additionally, KataGo is deployed in the cloud, and we will provide you with real-time updates for the best weights, the latest engines, and the most suitable parameter configurations, so you can enjoy the most powerful and cost-effective Go AI without worrying too much.
3.How strong is GoPilot's Go AI?
GoPilot uses the KataGo Go AI, which is far superior to human players. The skill level of top human players is approximately equivalent to KataGo 40v (40B weights). With GoPilot running on a 3060 GPU, it can achieve up to 900v per second (9000v in 10 seconds per move), and GPUs like the 3090 can reach nearly 3000v/s. Therefore, it is far beyond human capabilities. Even the free shared computing power AI provided by GoPilot is unmatched by human players.
4.Why pursue higher computing power?
Since AI can easily surpass human levels, why do we still pursue higher computing power (stronger GPUs)? This is because we are not just using AI for playing games. When reviewing or analyzing positions, some moves can only be identified with high computational power. Certain brilliant moves in professional human games may not be detected by AI with low computational power. Therefore, a faster AI allows you to appreciate these moves and brilliant strategies instantly, ensuring you don’t miss any insights and enabling a deeper understanding of the game and its openings.
5.Can GoPilot be used on a computer?
Yes, it can. You can connect to GoPilot's cloud on your computer via Lizzieyzy + ikatago. It's very convenient. You only need to configure it once, and it will be ready to use every time you open it, just as easy as using a local KataGo. Utilizing GoPilot's cloud computing power can make your AI "fly".
