Otter AI predicts human chess moves using time-aware sequential modeling

Researchers have developed Otter, a new AI model designed to predict human chess moves. Otter distinguishes itself by treating chess play as a sequential, time-aware process, incorporating the last 20 moves and clock pressure into its predictions. Trained on a massive dataset of Lichess games, Otter achieves high accuracy, surpassing previous models like Maia 2 with significantly fewer parameters and less training data. The project emphasizes its commitment to open science, releasing the code, trained models, and complete training logs. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a novel approach to modeling sequential decision-making in games, potentially influencing future AI development in strategy and prediction tasks.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new AI model released as a research paper on arXiv, detailing its architecture, training, and performance against prior work. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    Otter: A Time-Aware, History-Conditioned Human Chess AI

    arXiv:2608.05206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Otter is a 15.3M-parameter human chess AI that predicts human move selection by modeling play as a time-aware, sequential process rather than treating each position in isolation. It combines two conditioning signals: (1) a move hist…
