arXiv:2608. 15700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Background: Distillation of training targets generated thru search/planning has proven useful in reinforcement learning, but search can take exceedingly long.

We’re releasing a new class of reinforcement learning algorithms, Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), which perform comparably or better than state-of-the-art approaches while being much simpler to implement and tune. PPO has become the default reinforcement learning algorithm at OpenAI because of its ease of use and good performance.
