In August 2020 a new patch changed Stockfish NNUE into a hybrid engine: it uses NNUE evaluation only on quite balanced material positions, otherwise uses the classical one. It could speed up to 10% and gain 20 Elo <ref>[https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/2916 NNUE evaluation threshold by MJZ1977 · Pull Request #2916 · official-stockfish/Stockfish · GitHub], August 06, 2020</ref>. At that point, NNUE helped to increase already around 100 Elo for Stockfish. In the same month, Stockfish changed the default mode of using evaluation function from classic to hybrid one, the last official step to accept NNUE.
