Selected impact

  • Improved actor, critic, and policy forward interfaces across many algorithms, including better typing, clearer model-output naming, and a simplified distribution-function contract.
  • Cleaned up deterministic action selection by using PyTorch distribution modes, and improved Batch key access consistency by moving away from the implicit keys method.
