A version of AlphaGo that beat Fan Hui ran on a single machine, but a very beefy one (48 CPUs and 8 GPUs).

Unless they can optimize it quite a bit, we won't be seeing this on a mobile phone anytime soon. Perhaps you'll be able to pay a good hourly rate for the cloud version.

A mobile phone version will still trounce the current AIs like CrazyStone considering the single machine version is competitive with the cluster (can take some games off of it)
