About:
LeelaZero is an open-source neural network Go engine that uses deep learning to play the game at a professional level. Unlike traditional engines, it learns solely through self-play reinforcement learning, mimicking the approach of AlphaGo Zero. This produces a highly efficient and powerful AI without relying on pre-programmed human strategies.
Key Features:
  • Neural network-based architecture
  • Self-play reinforcement learning
  • Open-source and community-driven
  • GPU acceleration support
Use Cases:
  • Playing high-level Go games
  • Analyzing Go game records and moves
  • Researching reinforcement learning algorithms
Alternatives:
  • KataGo – A more advanced open-source Go AI with stronger play strength and additional features like score estimation.
  • GNU Go – A classic open-source engine using traditional search algorithms, generally weaker than neural network-based engines.
