PowerZooJax: A JAX-based Power System Benchmark for Reinforcement Learning

PowerZooJax is a JAX-based benchmark suite designed for reinforcement learning in power system operation. It offers five constrained Markov decision process tasks covering generation, transmission, distribution, distributed energy resources, and data center microgrids. By implementing power flow, economic dispatch, market clearing, and device dynamics as JAX computation graphs, the entire training and evaluation loop runs on the GPU, yielding significant speedups over CPU-based simulations and enabling standardized evaluation of policy returns, safety violations, and out-of-distribution stress conditions.

OneBid: A Unified Auto-Bidding Foundation Model for Diverse oCPX Advertising Scenarios

OneBid is a unified auto‑bidding foundation model that consolidates diverse cost‑per‑X (oCPX) advertising scenarios into a single framework. It builds on Decision Transformer by conditioning on two atomic signals—Return‑to‑Go for conversion value and Cost‑to‑Go for cost ratio—and incorporates value‑aware regularization. A sequence‑level Mixture‑of‑Experts architecture captures cross‑scenario knowledge while preserving low latency, and a Critic‑guided Relative Offline Policy optimization (CROP) aligns the backbone with scenario‑specific preferences without unsafe online exploration. In production at Kuaishou, OneBid achieved a 2.2% overall ADVV increase and up to 13.1% in the ROAS scenario.

When Does Deep RL Beat Calibrated Baselines? A Benchmark Study on Adaptive Resource Control

arXiv:2605. 26418v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A properly calibrated rule-based autoscaler can beat every one of six mainstream deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithms on cost across every workload we test - so when, if ever, does DRL actually help?
