There is ongoing open source, community based effort to replicate Alpha Zero Chess. The effort is lead by Gary Linscott. He is also one of the main developers of Stockfish (I believe the framework for testing Stockfish). https://github.com/LeelaChessZero/lczero https://github.com/LeelaChessZero/lczero Here is the current state of the effort: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18UWR4FVhPi0vNwwPreu_avd9ycujGQ5ayR2LzJOWP4s/edit#gid=1045682900 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18UWR4FVhPi0vNwwPreu_... Estimated date of surpassing Stockfish with settings and hardware reported in the spreadsheet is the end of this year. @edit I have missed your statements about symbolic reasoning. Yes, I'm referring to the same type of symbolic reasoning as the author of the article. I.e. system that manipulates high-level symbols without any grounded understanding of them in the surrounding us reality. Deliberating whether it is thinking or not is pointless. It's effective and that matters.
