Raspberry + Coral or alternative?

[Ferran]

Guys,

I'm considering getting a small AI server for Go, at home. Leela/Lizzie and my computer keep having issues[*]. So I've considered using an "old" Raspberry 3 I have, with a Coral USB add-on. Thing is, the price for the Coral add-on is not that much cheaper; specially if you manage to get a US price.

So, are there any suggestions? I mostly have those things in the background, training our future overlords. If I could, I'd batch historical games [+].

Thanks. Take care.

[*] Actually, it seems it's mostly with YouTube on Chrome... not on Firefox... but also not on a predictable basis, so far as I've been able to find

[+] I have a code somewhere that's supposed to do that, but it won't compile on my machine. So far, I'm doing it on my mobile, with Ah Q. I really like that app (although most of MY games are 13x13, and it doesn't seem to wok with those).

I wouldn't recommend a Coral TPU unless you are a developer and you're willing to spend time hacking to make stuff work. You can't just take a random neural network and run it on the Coral, you need to specially adapt the network for the hardware. As far as I know, there is no LZ support for Coral at the moment. (But there is a minigo network for Coral, see: https://coral.withgoogle.com/projects/minigo)
