NKC Multi-Agent Models provides researchers and developers with a comprehensive toolkit for designing, training, and evaluating multi-agent reinforcement learning systems. It features a modular architecture where users define custom agent policies, environment dynamics, and reward structures. Seamless integration with OpenAI Gym allows for rapid prototyping, while support for TensorFlow and PyTorch enables flexibility in selecting learning backends. The framework includes utilities for experience replay, centralized training with decentralized execution, and distributed training across multiple GPUs. Extensive logging and visualization modules capture performance metrics, facilitating benchmarking and hyperparameter tuning. By simplifying the setup of cooperative, competitive, and mixed-motive scenarios, NKC Multi-Agent Models accelerates experimentation in domains such as autonomous vehicles, robotic swarms, and game AI.

Selective Reincarnation introduces a dynamic population-based training mechanism tailored for multi-agent reinforcement learning. Each agent’s performance is regularly evaluated against predefined thresholds. When an agent’s performance falls below its peers, its weights are reset to those of the current top performer, effectively reincarnating it with proven behaviors. This approach maintains diversity by only resetting underperformers, minimizing destructive resets while guiding exploration toward high-reward policies. By enabling targeted heredity of neural network parameters, the pipeline reduces variance and accelerates convergence across cooperative or competitive multi-agent environments. Compatible with any policy gradient-based MARL algorithm, the implementation integrates seamlessly into PyTorch-based workflows and includes configurable hyperparameters for evaluation frequency, selection criteria, and reset strategy tuning.

Dead-simple self-learning offers developers a dead-simple approach to create and train reinforcement learning agents in Python. The framework abstracts core RL components, such as environment wrappers, policy modules, and experience buffers, into concise interfaces. Users can quickly initialize environments, define custom policies using familiar PyTorch or TensorFlow backends, and execute training loops with built-in logging and checkpointing. The library supports on-policy and off-policy algorithms, enabling flexible experimentation with Q-learning, policy gradients, and actor-critic methods. By reducing boilerplate code, dead-simple self-learning allows practitioners, educators, and researchers to prototype algorithms, test hypotheses, and visualize agent performance with minimal configuration. Its modular design also facilitates integration with existing ML stacks and custom environments.
