Jumanji is a diverse suite of scalable reinforcement learning environments written in JAX.
Jumanji is helping pioneer a new wave of hardware-accelerated research and development in the field of RL. Jumanji's high-speed environments enable faster iteration and large-scale experimentation while simultaneously reducing complexity. Originating in the Research Team at InstaDeep, Jumanji is now developed jointly with the open-source community. To join us in these efforts, reach out, raise issues and read our contribution guidelines or just star π to stay up to date with the latest developments!

You can install the latest release of Jumanji from PyPI:
pip install jumanjiAlternatively, you can install the latest development version directly from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/instadeepai/jumanji.gitJumanji has been tested on Python 3.8 and 3.9. Note that because the installation of JAX differs depending on your hardware accelerator, we advise users to explicitly install the correct JAX version (see the official installation guide).
Rendering: Matplotlib is used for rendering all the environments. To visualize the environments
you will need a GUI backend. For example, on Linux, you can install Tk via:
apt-get install python3-tk, or using conda: conda install tk. Check out
Matplotlib backends for a list of
backends you can use.
RL practitioners will find Jumanji's interface familiar as it combines the widely adopted
OpenAI Gym and
DeepMind Environment interfaces. From OpenAI Gym, we adopted
the idea of a registry and the render method, while our TimeStep structure is inspired by
DeepMind Environment.
import jax
import jumanji
# Instantiate a Jumanji environment using the registry
env = jumanji.make('Snake-v1')
# Reset your (jit-able) environment
key = jax.random.PRNGKey(0)
state, timestep = jax.jit(env.reset)(key)
# (Optional) Render the env state
env.render(state)
# Interact with the (jit-able) environment
action = env.action_spec().generate_value() # Action selection (dummy value here)
state, timestep = jax.jit(env.step)(state, action) # Take a step and observe the next state and time stepstaterepresents the internal state of the environment: it contains all the information required to take a step when executing an action. This should not be confused with theobservationcontained in thetimestep, which is the information perceived by the agent.timestepis a dataclass containingstep_type,reward,discount,observationandextras. This structure is similar todm_env.TimeStepexcept for theextrasfield that was added to allow users to log environments metrics that are neither part of the agent's observation nor part of the environment's internal state.
Being written in JAX, Jumanji's environments benefit from many of its features including
automatic vectorization/parallelization (jax.vmap, jax.pmap) and JIT-compilation (jax.jit),
which can be composed arbitrarily.
We provide an example of a more advanced usage in the
advanced usage guide.
Like OpenAI Gym, Jumanji keeps a strict versioning of its environments for reproducibility reasons.
We maintain a registry of standard environments with their configuration.
For each environment, a version suffix is appended, e.g. Snake-v1.
When changes are made to environments that might impact learning results,
the version number is incremented by one to prevent potential confusion.
For a full list of registered versions of each environment, check out
the documentation.
To showcase how to train RL agents on Jumanji environments, we provide a random agent and a vanilla actor-critic (A2C) agent. These agents can be found in jumanji/training/.
Because the environment framework in Jumanji is so flexible, it allows pretty much any problem to be implemented as a Jumanji environment, giving rise to very diverse observations. For this reason, environment-specific networks are required to capture the symmetries of each environment. Alongside the A2C agent implementation, we provide examples of such environment-specific actor-critic networks in jumanji/training/networks.
β οΈ The example agents injumanji/trainingare only meant to serve as inspiration for how one can implement an agent. Jumanji is first and foremost a library of environments - as such, the agents and networks will not be maintained to a production standard.
For more information on how to use the example agents, see the training guide.
