Shepherding is an open-source simulation framework designed for reinforcement learning researchers and developers to study and implement multi-agent herding tasks. It provides a Gym-compatible environment where agents can be trained to perform behaviors such as flanking, collecting, and dispersing target groups across continuous or discrete spaces. The framework includes modular reward shaping functions, environment parameterization, and logging utilities for monitoring training performance. Users can define obstacles, dynamic agent populations, and custom policies using TensorFlow or PyTorch. Visualization scripts generate trajectory plots and video recordings of agent interactions. Shepherding’s modular design allows seamless integration with existing RL libraries, enabling reproducible experiments, benchmarking of novel coordination strategies, and rapid prototyping of AI-driven herding solutions.

NeuralABM is an open-source Python library that leverages PyTorch to integrate neural networks into agent-based modeling. Users can specify agent architectures as neural modules, define environment dynamics, and train agent behaviors using backpropagation across simulation steps. The framework supports custom reward signals, curriculum learning, and synchronous or asynchronous updates, enabling the study of emergent phenomena. With utilities for logging, visualization, and dataset export, researchers and developers can analyze agent performance, debug models, and iterate on simulation designs. NeuralABM simplifies combining reinforcement learning with ABM for applications in social science, economics, robotics, and AI-driven game NPC behaviors. It provides modular components for environment customization, supports multi-agent interactions, and offers hooks for integrating external datasets or APIs for real-world simulations. The open design fosters reproducibility and collaboration through clear experiment configuration and version control integration.

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.

Agent-Squad is a modular Python framework that empowers teams to design, deploy, and run multi-agent systems for complex task execution. At its core, Agent-Squad lets users configure diverse agent profiles—such as data retrievers, summarizers, coders, and validators—that communicate through defined channels and share memory contexts. By decomposing high-level objectives into subtasks, the framework orchestrates parallel processing and leverages LLMs alongside external APIs, databases, or custom tools. Developers can specify workflows in JSON or code, monitor agent interactions, and adapt strategies dynamically using built-in logging and evaluation utilities. Common applications include automated research assistants, content generation pipelines, intelligent QA bots, and iterative code review processes. The open-source design integrates seamlessly with AWS services, enabling scalable deployments.
