ray.rllib.core.learner.learner.Learner.save_to_path

Learner.save_to_path(path: str | Path | None = None, *, state: Dict[str, Any] | None = None) → str

Saves the state of the implementing class (or state) to path.

The state of the implementing class is always saved in the following format:

path/
    [component1]/
        [component1 subcomponentA]/
            ...
        [component1 subcomponentB]/
            ...
    [component2]/
            ...
    [cls.METADATA_FILE_NAME] (json)
    [cls.STATE_FILE_NAME] (pkl)

The main logic is to loop through all subcomponents of this Checkpointable and call their respective save_to_path methods. Then save the remaining (non subcomponent) state to this Checkpointable’s STATE_FILE_NAME. In the exception that a component is a FaultTolerantActorManager instance, instead of calling save_to_path directly on that manager, the first healthy actor is interpreted as the component and its save_to_path method is called. Even if that actor is located on another node, the created file is automatically synced to the local node.

Parameters:

• path – The path to the directory to save the state of the implementing class to. If path doesn’t exist or is None, then a new directory will be created (and returned).

• state – An optional state dict to be used instead of getting a new state of the implementing class through self.get_state().

Returns:

The path (str) where the state has been saved.
