Spinning Up in Deep RL

Re:Spinning Up in Deep RL by pretty_dumm_guy on Thursday November 08, 2018 @08:39PM (#18411757)

Hi! I really appreciate you sharing this with the community. The documents and code look really clear and concise. I do have one question. Is it possible to change the dependency on Mujoco engine to something else (to for e.g. Roboschool)?

I don't have access to a computer with GPU and I am currently using google colab to do my DL projects. I tried installing Mujoco on colab but unfortunately, the computer id generated seems invalid. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi!

A few people had this question on Twitter also. Our response: "Several of us at OpenAI are thinking seriously about how to make something like this happen! I can't promise anything, but we definitely want to remove barriers to entry." (https://twitter.com/jachiam0/status/1060595172285632512)

In the meanwhile, you can still use Spinning Up with the Classic Control and Box2d envs in Gym (which don't require any licenses at all). And what's more: for most of these environments you don't need a GPU! CPU is fine.

Thank you for replying promptly. I am willing to help with such a change, if planned. Meanwhile I'll get started with running spinning-up on my laptop.
