Heh, it never even crossed my mind that anyone would associate an automatic number logged in KataGo's output to have some relation to some specific benchmark run by a major...

Hehe, well "version" would be an even more inaccurate word, because this is definitely not a number that labels different varieties or kinds or... well... versions, of a given thing....

Anyways, sounds like I should change the label in the output anyways, just to make it clearer that it doesn't have anything to do with anything external. Maybe it should...

Sorry, yeah old models do not support this output. Right now a default value of -1 is filled in in such cases, probably we should document that.

There isn't any model smaller than 40b that supports the output - it was introduced around the time when distributed training started. It does NOT measure the accuracy or the...

That's an interesting idea. Are you proposing this mainly because you're interested in solving small boards like 9x9 or 10x10?

On 19x19, an opening book seems unlikely to be useful. I think you may be neglecting how exponentially large the tree is. If each self-play game only accomplishes the equivalent...

I played with things a bit more and it seems to be not too uncommon that at very high visits (e.g. > 100k) the top move in the opening situation...
