Yes. Both AI and Zeus are stockfish clones. The last versions now are Zeus 40 and AI40. Killifish was another clone which I think has been closed project.

Are there any engines here which aren't clones or derivatives?

AI/Zeus are engines that normally don't get shared. Someone leaked some of them, and so we have Zeus up to 27 and AI up to 28, while both are at 40. We don't have access to the newer ones.

Now you will have more information about engines, their rankings, which one is free or private. Then you will understand ,there are many engines here that are not clones or derivatives and you can use them.

I've already scoured the CCRL for many engines a month ago, there's generally not too much variety, despite there being over 460 engines. (This is not assisted by dead links, private engines, and commercial engines that aren't sold anymore)

Hi Enderjed
I have already seen that you have even your engine here . valiant MK in python. I do not know why did you ask that question which caused , I think you know a little about engines while you, yourself are an engine author and engine maker. So you know better than me ,we have different engines here (in this forum) and each group (clone or none clone) has its own fans .
best regards
