PufferAI researcher Joseph Suarez argues that implementation and simulation bottlenecks have constrained reinforcement learning as much as algorithm choice. He discusses the design of useful simulators, CPU and GPU trade-offs, faster training pipelines and open-source research tools. The conversation ranges from game environments to potential applications in scientific simulation and biological modelling. Hosted by Ravid Shwartz Ziv and Allen Roush.
