OpenAI Gym Beta

OpenAI Gym Beta (article)

Excerpted from the OpenAI website:

We're releasing the public beta of OpenAI Gym, a toolkit for developing and comparing reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. It consists of a growing suite of environments (from simulated robots to Atari games), and a site for comparing and reproducing results.

OpenAI Gym is compatible with algorithms written in any framework, such as Tensorflow and Theano. The environments are written in Python, but we'll soon make them easy to use from any language. We originally built OpenAI Gym as a tool to accelerate our own RL research. We hope it will be just as useful for the broader community.

Open source, MIT license (free for private / commercial use with MIT license inclusion)
Available on GitHub

***

NOTE: unlike other FOSS spotlights, this software is in public beta.

Excerpted from the OpenAI website:

OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible.

In the short term, we're building on recent advances in AI research and working towards the next set of breakthroughs. Please direct press inquiries to Jack Clark at press@openai.com.
