Oh, wow... Thanks for the photo, I expected that LeelaZero is becoming popular among pros as a study tool, but this is the first time I see that directly.

Also, I think I recognize Laurent Heiser in the photo too.

Well spotted: he and his wife came to visit (she is good friends with the Chinese organisers from Shanghai, maybe went to the same go school as Chang Hao?). He's also been using LeelaZero and bought himself a 1080 Ti GPU for it. In the suit is Wang Yi, Chinese Go bigwig and current/former(?) IGF secretary general. In the light blue shirt is Wang Lei 8p, and out of the picture the laptop belongs to Ko Reibun 7p (pro in Japan, but son of Chinese pros Nei Weiping and Kong Xiangming).
