As a software engineer, you really have to check what commands it used to fully know if it did use a chess engine, i've been using astra and fable and they are great models. But the shift from doing so many illegal moves from previous models to suddenly only a single illegal move could imply that they recently started using chess books as training materials.
welcome to the chess world
The AI's illegal moves in chess was easy to fix, you could just hook it up a rule verification tool that constraints its options to legal moves only (this is possible because chess is a closed system with computable rules). So they didn't really improve, they're playing at the same level as before (decent, but nothing more)
Спасибо Леви, что продвигаешь шахматы в массы. Очень люблю твой развлекательный и обучающий контент!
claude is insane i mean this lvl of gameplay from a 5.1 version not latest is mind blowing
Welcome to the chess world that would be weird
Stockfish is not too fun to watch, but maybe these kinds of AIs will be, because they talk
I will not say "wellcome to the chess world" bacause its weird
welcome to the chess world
20 views in 685k hours?? unc is really falling off🥀🥀
Yeah please make more content like this
Now we can finally start a new chess AI tournament
The new wave AI series is really interesting, hope you keep it up!
When will you play chess modes or chess 2 in steam?
you should actually ask why the model is performing each move, if they're better the cool thing is that they can teach us more than stockfish, when you don't understand ask him. Try to make another video asking the logic behind hard moves. Also if they cannot explain the move, then they're using stockfish
Levy, how do I send you a game?
Chat bots chess championships2026: ACTUALLY GOOD CHESS!!!??!??!
you should do an eventual like candidates esque tournament with the top LLMs, and have an entire video series that goes through each stage in the tournament etc. where the first time around the top 2 LLMs fight against each other for the word title, and then we do the same thing next year. you can change it up however you like but i think something along those lines would be really fun to watch.
(i do remember you making a similar video about a tournament with the LLMs which was fun. but i think it could be quite interesting if the tournament could be a bit more serious/formal this time around and became an annual video series.)
[edit: made this comment with 40 seconds remaining in the video but i still stand behind what i said.]
Gotham, please Review my Games, I would like a response Video or even a response:Rafi12343210
It's kind of sad to no longer see those horrendous moves from these models

Poor levy cant even afford Opus 5.5

Who see the ladder

Am I hallucinating or did Levy did not call out knight B1 to E2 illegal move?
That's amazing. I knew that if you make them repeat the moves and "see" the board with ASCII characters, even weaker LLMs are able to play chess (for instance a simple Gemini Flash free won against me). Now these super LLMs have very huge context so they'll remember everything. Interesting the progresses they made so far!
