Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a continuously growing field that has the potential to revolutionize many areas of artificial intelligence. However, despite its promise, RL research is often hindered by the lack of standardization in environment and algorithm implementations. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare and build upon each other's work, slowing down progress in the field.Gymnasium is an open-source library that provides a standard API for RL environments, aiming to tackle this issue. Gymnasium's main feature is a set of abstractions that allow for wide interoperability between environments and training algorithms, making it easier for researchers to develop and test RL algorithms. In addition, Gymnasium provides a collection of easy-to-use environments, tools for easily customizing environments, and tools to ensure the reproducibility and robustness of RL research.Through this unified framework, Gymnasium significantly streamlines the process of developing and testing RL algorithms, enabling researchers to focus more on innovation and less on implementation details. By providing a standardized platform for RL research, Gymnasium helps to drive forward the field of reinforcement learning and unlock its full potential.

Gymnasium is an open-source library providing an API for reinforcement learning environments. Its main contribution is a central abstraction for wide interoperability between benchmark environments and training algorithms. Gymnasium comes with various built-in environments and utilities to simplify researchers' work along with being supported by most training libraries. This paper outlines the main design decisions for Gymnasium, its key features, and the differences to alternative APIs.

You have an environment, a model, and a reinforcement learning library that are designed to work together but don't. PufferLib makes them play nice. The library provides one-line environment wrappers that eliminate common compatibility problems and fast vectorization to accelerate training. With PufferLib, you can use familiar libraries like CleanRL and SB3 to scale from classic benchmarks like Atari and Procgen to complex simulators like NetHack and Neural MMO. We release pip packages and prebuilt images with dependencies for dozens of environments. All of our code is free and open-source software under the MIT license, complete with baselines, documentation, and support at pufferai.github.io.

Learn the basics of reinforcement learning and how to implement it using Gymnasium (previously called OpenAI Gym). Gymnasium is an open source Python library originally created by OpenAI that provides a collection of pre-built environments for reinforcement learning agents. It provides a standard API to communicate between learning algorithms and environments, as well as a standard set of environments compliant with that API. Reinforcement learning is an area of machine learning concerned with how intelligent agents ought to take actions in an environment in order to maximize the notion of cumulative reward.
