Overview:  Reinforcement learning in 2025 is more practical than ever, with Python libraries evolving to support real-world simulations, robotics, and deci ...

Researchers at Google Cloud and UCLA have proposed a new reinforcement learning framework that significantly improves the ability of language models to learn very challenging multi-step reasoning ...

Watch an AI agent learn how to balance a stick—completely from scratch—using reinforcement learning! This project walks you through how an algorithm interacts with an environment, learns through trial ...

At UC Berkeley, researchers in Sergey Levine’s Robotic AI and Learning Lab eyed a table where a tower of 39 Jenga blocks stood perfectly stacked. Then a white-and-black robot, its single limb doubled ...

The bird has never gotten much credit for being intelligent. But the reinforcement learning powering the world’s most advanced AI systems is far more pigeon than human. In 1943, while the world’s ...

Nearly a century ago, psychologist B.F. Skinner pioneered a controversial school of thought, behaviorism, to explain human and animal behavior. Behaviorism directly inspired modern reinforcement ...

The age of truly autonomous artificial intelligence, where systems proactively learn, adapt and optimize amid real-world complexities instead of simply reacting, has been a long-held aspiration. Now, ...

The world of artificial intelligence (AI) has recently been preoccupied with advancing generative AI beyond simple tests that AI models easily pass. The famed Turing Test has been "beaten" in some ...

In the 1980s, Andrew Barto and Rich Sutton were considered eccentric devotees to an elegant but ultimately doomed idea—having machines learn, as humans and animals do, from experience. Decades on, ...

The Chinese firm has pulled back the curtain to expose how the top labs may be building their next-generation models. Now things get interesting. When the Chinese firm DeepSeek dropped a large ...

DeepSeek-R1's release last Monday has sent shockwaves through the AI community, disrupting assumptions about what’s required to achieve cutting-edge AI performance. Matching OpenAI’s o1 at just 3%-5% ...
