#AlphaZero
People talking about "LLMs can't make new information" is so fucking funny. Ah yeah, AlphaZero hasn't found new chess strategies. Protein folding models don't make information.

Alphazero go bots are superhuman, but the adversarial attacks reveal that their “understanding“ of the game is alien and imperfect. Does the same thing happen when the base model is an LLM?

I'm delighted to announce the release of OpenSpiel 2.0! ♟️🎲♦️🎉

Structured types for states, observations, and actions, standard trajectories (based on JSON), 19 new games, AlphaZero ported to JAX, Windows PyPI support, language model fine-tuning examples and an MCP server (demo below 🤩👇)!

In contrast, the true “AlphaZero moment” arrived in 2018 with BERT, which redefined NLP by enabling models to better understand context, simplifying development pipelines, and reducing dependence on extensive labeled datasets.

On the one hand, the meaning of ‘AI’ has largely been pegged to concrete LLM based systems offered by the big players, erasing the wider range of techniques beyond deep neural nets and even DNNs beyond the transformer/diffusion paradigm (e.g., Alphazero, Alphafold, etc.).

im just confused.. google already owns the strongest chess engine in existence. why not just have gemini ask alphazero? can it not even do that??

One of my grand interpretability goals is to improve human scientific understanding by analyzing scientific discovery models, but this is the most convincing case yet that we CAN learn from model interpretation: Chess grandmasters learned new play concepts from AlphaZero's internal representations.

Der AlphaZero-Moment für Wetterprognosen
A new computer model to predict the weather built by Google and powered by AI consistently outperforms and is many times faster than government models that have existed for decades and involved hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, according to a study published Tuesday.
Why your weather forecasts may soon become more accurate
Google has produced a weather forecasting model using artificial intelligence with better accuracy, faster speed and lower costs, study finds.

Many compare the 2017 paper “Attention Is All You Need” to an “AlphaZero moment” in AI - but that comparison is somewhat misleading. While the Transformer architecture it introduced is now foundational, it initially drew limited attention within the NLP community.

*There hasn't yet been an "AlphaZero" AI that's entirely divorced from any human databases and that self-teaches about the nature of the universe

*Likely it would need to be a robot of some kind, embodied, lots of sensors and manipulators

*Maybe thousands of them, a cognitive anthill

My brilliant daughter @lisaschut.bsky.social joined 🦋 today!
She is first author of the Google DeepMind paper that shows that AlphaZero plays chess using unique superhuman concepts and improved solving performance of Gukesh, Kramnik and Hou Yifan by teaching these concepts

IMO it is well known, that MCTS was around well before AlphaZero.

Después de leer 'MANIAC', de Benjamín Labatut, he de decir que la única IA que me aterra se llama AlphaZero.

I made a 3 part YouTube series on *AlphaZero Explained* which explains the math/algorithm behind Google DeepMind's AI that achieved superhuman performance in Chess & Go.

All 3 videos come with an *interactive online Python notebook* using Connect 4 as an example.
