Stable Baselines 3 (SB3) is a set of reliable implementations of reinforcement learning algorithms in PyTorch. W&B’s SB3 integration:
  • Records metrics such as losses and episodic returns.
  • Uploads videos of agents playing the games.
  • Saves the trained model.
  • Logs the model’s hyperparameters.
  • Logs the model gradient histograms.
Review an example SB3 training run.

Stable Baselines 3 training with W&B

​
WandbCallback Arguments

ArgumentUsage
verboseThe verbosity of sb3 output
model_save_pathPath to the folder where the model will be saved, The default value is `None` so the model is not logged
model_save_freqFrequency to save the model
gradient_save_freqFrequency to log gradient. The default value is 0 so the gradients are not logged

​
Basic Example

The W&B SB3 integration uses the logs output from TensorBoard to log your metrics
