Introduction

By the way, the AI is extremely strong, to the point where increasing its strength further makes very little difference. However, you need powerful hardware. You can’t run KataGo on a phone or a normal computer and expect the most accurate results. It needs time to think and reach a good number of visits/playouts, and ideally a strong GPU, at least something like an RTX 3090. Hardware makes a huge difference: AlphaGo on a laptop would do little, but on Google’s massive servers, it would be incredibly powerful. I wanted to clarify this because it’s important.
