Environment workers can then batch and thus significantly speedup the action computing forward pass. On top of that, RLlib offers the ``remote_worker_envs`` config to create `single environments (within a vectorized one) as ray Actors <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/remote_envs_with_inference_done_on_main_node.py>`_, thus parallelizing even the env stepping process. .. container:: clear-both .. container:: buttons-float-left .. https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Lbi1Zf5SvczSliGEWuK4mjWeehPIArYY9XKys81EtHU/edit .. image:: images/sigils/rllib-sigil-multi-agent.svg :width: 100 :target: https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/multi_agent_independent_learning.py .. container:: | **Multi-agent RL** (MARL): Convert your (custom) ``gym.Envs`` into a multi-agent one via a few simple steps and start training your agents in any of the following fashions: | 1) Cooperative with `shared <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/centralized_critic.py>`_ or `separate <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/two_step_game.py>`_ policies and/or value functions. | 2) Adversarial scenarios using `self-play <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/self_play_with_open_spiel.py>`_ and `league-based training <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/self_play_league_based_with_open_spiel.py>`_. | 3) `Independent learning <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/multi_agent_independent_learning.py>`_ of neutral/co-existing agents. .. container:: clear-both .. container:: buttons-float-left .. https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1DY2IJUPo007mSRylz6IEs-dz_n1-rFh67RMi9PB2niY/edit .. image:: images/sigils/rllib-sigil-external-simulators.svg :width: 100 :target: https://github.com/ray-project/ray/tree/master/rllib/examples/serving .. container:: **External simulators**: Don't have your simulation running as a gym.Env in python? No problem! RLlib supports an external environment API and comes with a pluggable, off-the-shelve `client <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/serving/cartpole_client.py>`_/ `server <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/serving/cartpole_server.py>`_ setup that allows you to run 100s of independent simulators on the "outside" (e.g. a Windows cloud) connecting to a central RLlib Policy-Server that learns and serves actions. Alternatively, actions can be computed on the client side to save on network traffic. .. container:: clear-both .. container:: buttons-float-left .. https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1VFuESSI5u9AK9zqe9zKSJIGX8taadijP7Qw1OLv2hSQ/edit .. image:: images/sigils/rllib-sigil-offline-rl.svg :width: 100 :target: https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/offline_rl.py .. container:: **Offline RL and imitation learning/behavior cloning**: You don't have a simulator for your particular problem, but tons of historic data recorded by a legacy (maybe non-RL/ML) system? This branch of reinforcement learning is for you! RLlib's comes with several `offline RL <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/examples/offline_rl.py>`_ algorithms (*CQL*, *MARWIL*, and *DQfD*), allowing you to either purely `behavior-clone <https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/algorithms/bc/tests/test_bc.py>`_ your existing system or learn how to further improve over it.
