Somewhere between 1 and 1 billion. How about you start by telling us: - do you mean AlphaGo or AlphaGo Zero? - how many lines of code AlphaGo [Zero] has; - in what language or languages; - is Python allowed to call out to libraries written in other languages, e.g. machine learning and neural net libraries, or databases, or does it have to implement *everything* from scratch? The Michi Go engine uses about 550 lines of Python: https://github.com/pasky/michi but I don't believe it does any machine learning.
