In plain words: OpenRL is one toolkit for training software agents by trial and reward, covering solo tasks, teams, and agents practicing against each other, plus language tasks, all through one shared interface. Built on PyTorch, it aims to be easy for beginners yet flexible for experts.

Abstract

We present OpenRL, an advanced reinforcement learning (RL) framework designed to accommodate a diverse array of tasks, from single-agent challenges to complex multi-agent systems. OpenRL's robust support for self-play training empowers agents to develop advanced strategies in competitive settings. Notably, OpenRL integrates Natural Language Processing (NLP) with RL, enabling researchers to address a combination of RL training and language-centric tasks effectively. Leveraging PyTorch's robust capabilities, OpenRL exemplifies modularity and a user-centric approach. It offers a universal interface that simplifies the user experience for beginners while maintaining the flexibility experts require for innovation and algorithm development. This equilibrium enhances the framework's practicality, adaptability, and scalability, establishing a new standard in RL research. To delve into OpenRL's features, we invite researchers and enthusiasts to explore our GitHub repository at https://github.com/OpenRL-Lab/openrl and access our comprehensive documentation at https://openrl-docs.readthedocs.io.
