Do the new chess AIs play gambits?

Do the new chess AIs, such as Alpha Zero and Leela Zero, play gambits?

Queen's Gambit (1. d4 d5 2. c4) as such does not count; or, rather, Queen's Gambit counts only in lines in which a master might accept and try to hold the gambited material. By gambit in this context, I mean a genuinely speculative offer of opening material like Evans' Gambit, for example, or like the gambit @Akavall gives below.
