Trying around
After discussing the best way to publish networks with Stockfish<ref>https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/3030 Improve dealing with the default net? by Vondele · Issue ##3030 · official-stockfish/Stockfish · GitHub], August 19, 2020</ref>, the developing team decided to embed the default network into Stockfish binaries, making sure NNUE always works as well as bringing more convenience to users.
=Trying Ideas around=
Based on NNUE techniques, the community has discussed some ideas or even tried some of them:
* Use NNUE code and Stockfish NNUE networks for other engines
* Use Video cards in hope to speed up NNUE evaluation <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74702 stockfish with graphics card] by h1a8, [[CCC]], August 06, 2020</ref>. However, with current small networks and [[Incremental Updates|incremental update]] people guessed the GPU may not help much. Another topic <ref>[http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74771 AB search with NN on GPU...] by Srdja Matovic, [[CCC]], August 13, 2020</ref> studied that the latencies between CPU and GPU become too large for the way calling NNUE evaluation without batches, may limit much the maximum speed.* Use other engines to train networks for Stockfish NNUE<ref>[http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74510 LizardFish 0.1 NNUE now available] by Dietrich Kappe, [[CCC]], August 20, 2020</ref>
