AMD GPUOpen Releases Schola v2: Next-Gen RL Plugin for Unreal Engine 5 AI Training
AMD GPUOpen recently announced AMD Schola v2, a significant update to its open-source reinforcement learning (RL) plugin for Unreal Engine 5. Schola v2 is described as a "next-generation reinforcement learning" solution, offering substantial improvements in capabilities, performance, and ease of use for developing and deploying AI agents. The update streamlines the process of training complex AI behaviors within the Unreal Engine environment. AMD highlighted an application where Schola v2 was used to train an X-ARM 5 robotic arm, progressively increasing task complexity to adapt to changing conditions. This new version aims to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of reinforcement learning for developers working with Unreal Engine 5.
