simple_rl is a minimalistic Python library designed to streamline reinforcement learning research and education. It provides a consistent API for defining environments and agents, with built-in support for common RL paradigms including Q-learning, Monte Carlo methods, and dynamic programming algorithms like value and policy iteration. The framework includes sample environments such as GridWorld, MountainCar, and Multi-Armed Bandits, facilitating hands-on experimentation. Users can extend base classes to implement custom environments or agents, while utility functions handle logging, performance tracking, and policy evaluation. simple_rl's lightweight architecture and clear codebase make it ideal for rapid prototyping, teaching RL fundamentals, and benchmarking new algorithms in a reproducible, easy-to-understand environment.

negotiation_agent provides a modular toolkit for building autonomous negotiation bots powered by GPT-like models. Developers can specify negotiation scenarios by defining items, preferences, and utility functions to model agent objectives. The framework includes pre-defined agent templates and allows integration of custom strategies, enabling offer generation, counteroffer evaluation, acceptance decisions, and deal closure. It manages dialogue flows using standardized protocols, supports batch simulations for tournament-style experiments, and calculates performance metrics such as agreement rate, utility gains, and fairness scores. The open architecture facilitates swapping underlying LLM backends and extending agent logic through plugins. With negotiation_agent, teams can quickly prototype and evaluate automated bargaining solutions in e-commerce, research, and educational settings.
