Acme is a Python-based framework that simplifies the development and evaluation of reinforcement learning agents. It offers a collection of prebuilt agent implementations (e.g., DQN, PPO, SAC), environment wrappers, replay buffers, and distributed execution engines. Researchers can mix and match components to prototype new algorithms, monitor training metrics with built-in logging, and leverage scalable distributed pipelines for large-scale experiments. Acme integrates with TensorFlow and JAX, supports custom environments via OpenAI Gym interfaces, and includes utilities for checkpointing, evaluation, and hyperparameter configuration.

Fast Reinforcement Learning is a specialized Python framework designed to accelerate the development and execution of reinforcement learning agents. It offers out-of-the-box support for popular algorithms such as PPO, A2C, DDPG and SAC, combined with high-throughput vectorized environment management. Users can easily configure policy networks, customize training loops and leverage GPU acceleration for large-scale experiments. The library’s modular design ensures seamless integration with OpenAI Gym environments, enabling researchers and practitioners to prototype, benchmark and deploy agents across a variety of control, game and simulation tasks.
