The object
The object
The program was named "Leela" because the author wanted a pleasant female name that contrasted with the prevailing style at the time, typified by names like "Shredder", "Tiger", and "Rebel". A version featuring deep learning technology was released for free in February 2017. It was the first Go engine close to professional level freely available on a personal computer. Leela should not be confused with Leela Zero, a stronger program developed by Pascutto and collaborators beginning in late 2017.
