We discussed RL environments, one of the bigger themes in AI this year. Core Challenges in Building RL Environments 1. The Optimisation/Scale Problem. The ideal RL environment should be extensive and cover many domains, but larger environments are computationally heavier. There’s a fundamental tension between realism/breadth and efficiency. GPU constraints are significant across training, inference, and environment simulation simultaneously. Anyone doing large-scale RL environment training would face GPU, DRAM, and potentially CPU bottlenecks across all three vectors. 2. Verifiability Across
