Caltech, right? Were you the author of Flippy? There's a new generation of AlphaZero-style ML bots that's managed to finally dethrone it :)
I've been working on and off on a Rust Othello bot aiming to combine AlphaZero in the midgame with a fast endgame solver [1]. Probably the coolest feature that's currently finished is that valid moves are generated and executed with SIMD instructions, so searching a new position only takes a few clocks on a modern cpu.
