Note

Ray 2.10.0 introduces the alpha stage of RLlib’s “new API stack”. The team is currently transitioning algorithms, example scripts, and documentation to the new code base throughout the subsequent minor releases leading up to Ray 3.0.

See here for more details on how to activate and use the new API stack.

RLModule API#

RL Module specifications and configurations#

Single Agent#

RLModuleSpec

Utility spec class to make constructing RLModules (in single-agent case) easier.

RLModuleSpec.build

Builds the RLModule from this spec.

RLModuleSpec.get_rl_module_config

RLModule Configuration#

RLModuleConfig

RLModuleConfig.to_dict

RLModuleConfig.from_dict

RLModuleConfig.get_catalog

Multi RLModule (multi-agent)#

MultiRLModuleSpec

A utility spec class to make it constructing MultiRLModules easier.

MultiRLModuleSpec.build

Builds either the multi-agent module or the single-agent module.

MultiRLModuleSpec.get_multi_rl_module_config

RL Module API#

Constructor#

RLModule

Base class for RLlib modules.

RLModule.as_multi_rl_module

Returns a multi-agent wrapper around this module.

Forward methods#

forward_train

DO NOT OVERRIDE! Forward-pass during training called from the learner.

forward_exploration

DO NOT OVERRIDE! Forward-pass during exploration, called from the sampler.

forward_inference

DO NOT OVERRIDE! Forward-pass during evaluation, called from the sampler.

_forward_train

Forward-pass used before the loss computation (training).

_forward_exploration

Forward-pass used for action computation with exploration behavior.

_forward_inference

Forward-pass used for action computation without exploration behavior.

IO specifications#

input_specs_inference

Returns the input specs of the forward_inference method.

input_specs_exploration

Returns the input specs of the forward_exploration method.

input_specs_train

Returns the input specs of the forward_train method.

output_specs_inference

output_specs_exploration

output_specs_train

Returns the output specs of the forward_train method.

Saving and Loading#

get_state

Returns the state dict of the module.

set_state

Sets the implementing class' state to the given state dict.

save_to_path

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

restore_from_path

Restores the state of the implementing class from the given path.

from_checkpoint

Creates a new Checkpointable instance from the given location and returns it.

Multi Agent RL Module API#

Constructor#

MultiRLModule

Base class for an RLModule that contains n sub-RLModules.

MultiRLModule.setup

Sets up the underlying, individual RLModules.

MultiRLModule.as_multi_rl_module

Returns self in order to match RLModule.as_multi_rl_module() behavior.

Modifying the underlying RL modules#

add_module

Adds a module at run time to the multi-agent module.

remove_module

Removes a module at runtime from the multi-agent module.

Saving and Loading#

save_to_path

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

restore_from_path

Restores the state of the implementing class from the given path.
