Breaking the performance ceiling in Reinforcement Learning

Breaking the Performance Ceiling in Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) has delivered some of AI’s most striking successes, from human-level Atari 1 play to world-class performance in Go2. Yet when applied to messy, real-world combinatorial optimisation (CO) problems such as energy grid management or autonomous logistics, even state-of-the-art RL systems can stall. Despite being trained to convergence, policies often hit a performance… Read more »

Oryx InstaDeep’s scalable sequence model for multi-agent coordination in offline settings

Oryx: InstaDeep’s scalable sequence model for multi-agent coordination in offline settings

Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) holds significant promise across domains such as autonomous driving, warehouse logistics, intelligent rail networks, and satellite alignment. Yet deploying MARL in the real world remains difficult. Training typically requires vast amounts of interactive data, which is both costly and potentially risky, particularly in safety-critical settings where trial and error is not… Read more »
