FAQPage Schema
How do I train reinforcement learning agents using PPO or SAC in Gymnasium environments?

To train reinforcement learning agents, you can use ready-to-use implementations like PPO, SAC, and TD3 with a consistent API for single-agent Gymnasium workflows. The Skill provides example scripts for rapid prototyping and production-grade experiments.

What is the best way to scale reinforcement learning training across multiple environments?

The best way to scale reinforcement learning training is using vectorized environments. The Skill supports SubprocVecEnv and VecNormalize to enable scalable training and robust evaluation pipelines across multiple environments simultaneously.

Does Stable Baselines3 work with custom Gymnasium environments and callbacks?

Yes, Stable Baselines3 works with custom Gymnasium environments and callbacks. The Skill includes guidance and example scripts for setting up custom environments, configuring training callbacks, and implementing persistence for your models.

How do I evaluate and benchmark reinforcement learning models after training?

To evaluate and benchmark reinforcement learning models, the Skill provides evaluation utilities and example scripts. These tools help you systematically assess trained agents, compare performance across algorithms, and measure results in Gymnasium environments.

Can I use Stable Baselines3 for rapid prototyping and production-grade reinforcement learning experiments?

Yes, you can use Stable Baselines3 for both rapid prototyping and production-grade reinforcement learning experiments. It offers HER-ready variants and a consistent API across algorithms like A2C, DQN, PPO, SAC, and TD3, simplifying deployment and comparison.

What are the limitations of using vectorized training for reinforcement learning workflows?

Vectorized training for reinforcement learning is limited to single-agent Gymnasium workflows. While it supports scalable training via SubprocVecEnv and VecNormalize, it does not natively handle multi-agent scenarios or environments outside the Gymnasium API scope.
