Build a trustworthy practice loop

Generate examples, filter them with a verifier, train a candidate, and protect earlier skills before promotion.

02
Ready to explore

Learn something new without losing the old

Train a shared neural network on two tasks, measure forgetting, and compare replay with a parameter-change penalty.

03
Ready to explore

Learn a better way to adapt

Optimize a starting weight for rapid adaptation, then evaluate adapted copies on a task excluded from meta-training.

Open
04
Ready to explore

Choose what experience to retain

Compare reservoir, task-stratified and recent replay under a frequency shift, from the same neural checkpoint.

Open
05
Ready to explore

Change context or change parameters

Give identical support measurements to a context fit, exact-key memory and gradient-based parameter adaptation.

Open
06
Ready to explore

Measure adaptation cost

Compare zero and meta-trained initializations across linear and shifted curved task families using fixed support/update budgets.

Open
07
Ready to explore

Learn reusable temporally extended skills

Train two tabular option policies and logistic termination functions, then compare staged navigation with a flat learner and fixed hierarchy.

Open
08
Ready to explore

Coordinate agents with limited information

Compare centralized observations, local missing information and explicit communication in a synchronous two-agent grid.

Open
09
Ready to explore

Update without silently changing the contract

Train a real candidate, recompute old/new regression gates and retain both checkpoints for a replayable rollback record.
