on my tablet, the new version, KG 20b is 5-6 times faster, and does not slow down at all !!!

[And]

it seems impossible, but the optimized KG 20b network works just as well as the original! in the position from

the new network finds the right move very quickly and shows the win!!! incredible !!!

I'm very sorry for that. Unfortunately, I can't test on android 11, since my device wasn't updated yet. So finding the cause of this crash requires some guesswork. I went through the changes from the last version and found one slightly "suspicious" part. So I changed that, thereby producing version 1.1. It's a shot in the dark, but please try if that version improves things for you.

If it still crashes, it would be revealing to know if this also happens with the 10b network or only with the 20b one.

... producing version 1.1

Thank you !

I installed it. KG still doesn't work with Android 11 (10b or 20b makes no difference, KG crashes instantly) but LZ works fine.

I installed v.1.1 on my backup phone (Android 9) and everything is fine, both KG and LZ work

@Vargo

Thank you for checking all that. So it seems that something is different on android 11 which the code doesn't handle correctly. I found a change between android 10 and 11 which might be responsible for that and made a test release where this is handled
https://github.com/aki65/aki65.github.i ... el-1.2.apk
It would be very nice if you could check if that resolves the issue.

[Vargo]

... check if that resolves the issue

Yes it does

Everything works perfectly (KG 10b, 20b, and LZ 15b, 40b).
Thank you again for this great app.

[akigo]

Thanks for testing.

So I made an official release (1.2) with this change (available on my github page and in play store).

@akigo

are you planning on making an optimized KG 40b network? maybe optional?

Apparently the master branch of katago can now run distributed nets https://katagotraining.org/networks/kata1/

is it possible to compile the new katago engine for baduk ai? Either way thanks for a perfect app!

@akigo

Yes, I'm planning to do so, but I will wait until the 40b network grows even stronger. Currently the strength difference between 20b and 40b at equal time is relatively small, so it's not yet worth the effort.

Currently I don't have access to my development environment, but in the new year I will have a look at this.

[akigo]

I made a new version (1.3), available as usual from https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... r.baduk_ai or https://github.com/aki65/aki65.github.i ... tag/v1.3.0

It includes the current master branch of katago, so that you can now load the new models from distributed training.

Works like a charm !
I tried an H5 game :

B : CSDL set at 5d , komi 0.5
W : BadukAI 1.3 , KG and the new 40b network kata1-b40c256-s5464776448-d1316114216, Samsung S20+, Android 11, komi 0.5, default settings for badukAI

It was a very easy win for W by resignation, I'll try H6 or H7 !

An H6 game :

B : CSDL set at 5d , komi 0.5
W : BadukAI 1.3 , KG and the new 40b network kata1-b40c256-s5464776448-d1316114216, Samsung S20+, Android 11, komi 0.5, default settings for badukAI

Again, W+R
Woaw.... How strong is this thing ?
