About KaTrain
KaTrain is a tool for analyzing Go games and playing with feedback from KataGo. It identifies moves by points lost, gives immediate feedback with an option to retry, offers teaching games that undo sufficiently bad moves, provides weakened AI opponents, and creates focused SGF reviews.
It is distributed with a KataGo binary and model for Windows, Linux and Mac, with settings to download other models and binaries or connect to a remote server. Hardware-specific engine versions need additional setup, and the macOS Homebrew cask can lag behind the releases page.
