▶📚 Prerequisites(1)
🎓 Learning objectives
- •Explain why environment fragmentation is a central bottleneck in reinforcement learning, distinct from the training algorithm itself
- •Describe OpenEnv's 3-method interface (reset, step, state) and its containerized, service-based architecture
- •Explain why training an LLM agent with RL is harder than training a simple action-selecting agent
- •Describe what ART handles on behalf of a team training agentic LLMs from experience
