an [[UCI]] compliant [[:Category:Open Source|open source chess engine]] by [[Connor McMonigle]], written in [[Cpp|C++]],
licensed under the [[Free Software Foundation#GPL|GNU GPL]] and first released in October 2020.
Seer uses a custom [[NNUE]] implementation based on [[Float|32-bit float]] weights with training code written in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyTorch PyTorch] and inference code relying on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP OpenMP] [[SIMD and SWAR Techniques|SIMD]] for auto vectorization <ref>[https://github.com/connormcmonigle/seer-nnue GitHub - connormcmonigle/seer-nnue: UCI chess engine using NNUE for position evaluation]</ref>.Due to [[BMI2#PEXTBitboards|PEXT Bitboards]], Seer requires [[BMI2]] for a reasonable performance, as well as either [[SSE]], [[AVX]], [[AVX2]] or [[AVX-512]] to calculate the NNUE.
