> Katago (almost certainly significantly stronger than AlphaGo)

Interesting KataGo is an open sourced Go program written primarily by David Wu in C++ and recently heavily vibe coded by Claude. It's running on four Nvidia RTX-3090 GPUs with 96GB VRAM. [1]

It significantly predates Claude, and has been one of, if not the best engine in the world for many years.
