Try using the new b18c384nbt-uec.bin.gz net, it's 95MB in size and currently the strongest available net. As of now it's only available through KataGo's github page, but in a couple days/weeks it should replace 60b as the main training net. You'll need KataGo 1.12 to run it https://github.com/lightvector/KataGo/r ... ag/v1.12.4
