Hivemind — Bughouse TwinBoard-S, clock lineage

Networks for Hivemind, a UCI engine for Bughouse chess, trained to play on real clocks.

The TwinBoard-S networks learned bughouse with a single time-advantage bit: one team may sit (wait instead of moving) for the whole game. This lineage continues from the last of them and learns from self-play on a simulated clock instead, where a team may sit only while it actually leads, and every action it takes while on turn on both boards costs it its own move time.

twin-s-clock.pt Its training checkpoint
twin-s-clock-itN.onnx / .pt Every RL iteration's network and checkpoint, promoted or not
twin-s-clock-it0.onnx / .pt The starting point: twin-s-noattn iteration 10, before any clock training

Clock inputs

Same TwinBoardNet (twin-s, no attention) as the TwinBoard-S networks, reading 39 planes per board (78 in all): the 37 planes of input representation version 3, plus two clock planes that both boards carry with the same values, from the point of view of the team to move:

Plane Value
Lead sign(lead) · min(1, log2(1 + n) / 10), where n = |lead| / the leading team's move time — how many actions the leader can afford to wait
Speed log2(own move time / opponents' move time) / 5, clamped to ±1

Iteration 0 reads only the 37 version-3 planes; the engine drops the clock planes for it. Training widens its first layer with zero weights for the two new planes, so iteration 1 starts out computing exactly what iteration 0 does.

Search with the clock model so the network gets real clock inputs:

setoption name TimeModel value clock
setoption name TimeLeadMs value 4200        # our lead over the diagonal opponents
setoption name TeamMoveTimeMs value 2300     # what one of our actions costs our clock
setoption name OpponentMoveTimeMs value 1500

Do not use iteration 0, or any earlier TwinBoard-S network, with TimeModel clock: they read the lead as a permanent right to sit, and their evaluation jumps by about 26 pawns as the lead crosses zero.

Results

Iteration Training Match
1 60,000 clock self-play games (4.25 M positions) by iteration 0, 6,226 steps from iteration 0 140–58–2 (70.5 %, +151 Elo, 95 % CI +109 to +199) vs iteration 0 searching on the binary time advantage taken from the real clock, 200 games, 200 ms per move, simulated clock

Matches are played in colour-swapped pairs that share the opening, the starting lead and both teams' simulated move times (0.1–3 s per action). Iteration 1 won about 70 % whether it started ahead, behind or level on the clock.

Sankalp Thakur

Compact learned predictors and controllers for industrial setpoint control, tested against tuned PI and MPC on simulated plants: a two-pump pressure manifold, the Johansson four-tank system, and a thermal CSTR. It includes a C99 predictor for edge devices. All plants are synthetic, and the methods are adaptations of published papers, not reproductions. The offline FKDPP adaptation underperformed PI. Every outcome, including the losses, is kept in the reports. - The saved predictor is 12,484 bytes, with fixed-size inference. - The decision time is about 0.61 ms at the 95th percentile on an Apple ARM host. That excludes communication, PLC scans and admission checks. - The C99 predictor…
