A synergy effect with the [[Shogi]] community led to the promising branch of [[Stockfish NNUE]], courtesy of [[Hisayori Noda|Nodchip]], who introduced [[NNUE]] to Stockfish in 2019 <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74059 Stockfish NN release (NNUE)] by [[Henk Drost]], [[CCC]], May 31, 2020</ref>. On September 02, 2020, '''Stockfish 12''' was released with a huge jump in [[Playing Strength|playing strength]] due to NNUE and further [[Automated Tuning|tuning]] of the engine <ref>[https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2020/stockfish-12/ Stockfish 12], The Stockfish Team, [https://blog.stockfishchess.org/ Stockfish Blog], September 02, 2020</ref>. The release of '''Stockfish 13''' on February 19, 2021, has been triggered by the start of sales of the [[Fat Fritz#Fat Fritz 2|Fat Fritz 2]] engine by [[ChessBase]], based on a recent development version of Stockfish with minor modifications <ref>[https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2021/stockfish-13/ Stockfish 13], The Stockfish Team, February 19, 2021</ref>. '''Stockfish 14''', released on July 02, 2021, further improved due to efforts by [[Tomasz Sobczyk]] and [[Gary Linscott]] in designing a new [[Stockfish NNUE#HalfKA|NNUE architecture]] in conjunction with a [[GPU]] accelerated trainer written in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyTorch PyTorch]. Further, the collaboration with the [[Leela Chess Zero]] team payed off, in providing billions of positions to train the new NNUE <ref>[https://stockfishchess.org/blog/2021/stockfish-14/ Stockfish 14], The Stockfish Team, July 02, 2021</ref>.
'''Stockfish 16''', released June 30, 2023, removes the classical evaluation from the engine and focuses on [[NNUE]] neural networks.<ref>[https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/commit/af110e02ec96cdb46cf84c68252a1da15a902395 GirHub - Stockfish commit, Remove classical evaluation]</ref>
