Basic Usage: Training, Saving, Loading
--------------------------------------
In the following example, we will train, save and load a DQN model on the Lunar Lander environment.
.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg
:target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/saving_loading_dqn.ipynb
.. figure:: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/960/1*f4VZPKOI0PYNWiwt0la0Rg.gif
Lunar Lander Environment
.. note::
LunarLander requires the python package ``box2d``.
You can install it using ``apt install swig`` and then ``pip install box2d box2d-kengz``
.. warning::
``load`` method re-creates the model from scratch and should be called on the Algorithm without instantiating it first,
e.g. ``model = DQN.load("dqn_lunar", env=env)`` instead of ``model = DQN(env=env)`` followed by ``model.load("dqn_lunar")``. The latter **will not work** as ``load`` is not an in-place operation.
If you want to load parameters without re-creating the model, e.g. to evaluate the same model
with multiple different sets of parameters, consider using ``set_parameters`` instead.
.. code-block:: python
import gymnasium as gym
from stable_baselines3 import DQN
from stable_baselines3.common.evaluation import evaluate_policy
# Create environment
env = gym.make("LunarLander-v2", render_mode="rgb_array")
# Instantiate the agent
model = DQN("MlpPolicy", env, verbose=1)
# Train the agent and display a progress bar
model.learn(total_timesteps=int(2e5), progress_bar=True)
# Save the agent
model.save("dqn_lunar")
del model # delete trained model to demonstrate loading
# Load the trained agent
# NOTE: if you have loading issue, you can pass `print_system_info=True`
# to compare the system on which the model was trained vs the current one
# model = DQN.load("dqn_lunar", env=env, print_system_info=True)
model = DQN.load("dqn_lunar", env=env)
# Evaluate the agent
# NOTE: If you use wrappers with your environment that modify rewards,
# this will be reflected here. To evaluate with original rewards,
# wrap environment in a "Monitor" wrapper before other wrappers.
mean_reward, std_reward = evaluate_policy(model, model.get_env(), n_eval_episodes=10)
# Enjoy trained agent
vec_env = model.get_env()
obs = vec_env.reset()
for i in range(1000):
action, _states = model.predict(obs, deterministic=True)
obs, rewards, dones, info = vec_env.step(action)
vec_env.render("human")
Multiprocessing: Unleashing the Power of Vectorized Environments

# Stable Baselines provides you with make_vec_env() helper
# which does exactly the previous steps for you.
# You can choose between `DummyVecEnv` (usually faster) and `SubprocVecEnv`
# env = make_vec_env(env_id, n_envs=num_cpu, seed=0, vec_env_cls=SubprocVecEnv)

obs = vec_env.reset()
for _ in range(1000):
action, _states = model.predict(obs)
obs, rewards, dones, info = vec_env.step(action)
vec_env.render()
Multiprocessing with off-policy algorithms
------------------------------------------
.. warning::
When using multiple environments with off-policy algorithms, you should update the ``gradient_steps``
parameter too. Set it to ``gradient_steps=-1`` to perform as many gradient steps as transitions collected.
There is usually a compromise between wall-clock time and sample efficiency,
see this `example in PR #439 <https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3/pull/439#issuecomment-961796799>`_
.. code-block:: python
import gymnasium as gym
from stable_baselines3 import SAC
from stable_baselines3.common.env_util import make_vec_env
vec_env = make_vec_env("Pendulum-v0", n_envs=4, seed=0)
# We collect 4 transitions per call to `env.step()`
# and performs 2 gradient steps per call to `env.step()`
# if gradient_steps=-1, then we would do 4 gradients steps per call to `env.step()`
model = SAC("MlpPolicy", vec_env, train_freq=1, gradient_steps=2, verbose=1)
model.learn(total_timesteps=10_000)
Dict Observations
-----------------
You can use environments with dictionary observation spaces. This is useful in the case where one can't directly
concatenate observations such as an image from a camera combined with a vector of servo sensor data (e.g., rotation angles).
Stable Baselines3 provides ``SimpleMultiObsEnv`` as an example of this kind of setting.
The environment is a simple grid world, but the observations for each cell come in the form of dictionaries.
These dictionaries are randomly initialized on the creation of the environment and contain a vector observation and an image observation.
.. code-block:: python
from stable_baselines3 import PPO
from stable_baselines3.common.envs import SimpleMultiObsEnv
# Stable Baselines provides SimpleMultiObsEnv as an example environment with Dict observations
env = SimpleMultiObsEnv(random_start=False)
model = PPO("MultiInputPolicy", env, verbose=1)
model.learn(total_timesteps=100_000)
Callbacks: Monitoring Training
------------------------------
.. note::
We recommend reading the `Callback section <callbacks.html>`_
You can define a custom callback function that will be called inside the agent.
This could be useful when you want to monitor training, for instance display live
learning curves in Tensorboard or save the best agent.
If your callback returns False, training is aborted early.

Pong Environment
Training a RL agent on Atari games is straightforward thanks to ``make_atari_env`` helper function.
It will do `all the preprocessing <https://danieltakeshi.github.io/2016/11/25/frame-skipping-and-preprocessing-for-deep-q-networks-on-atari-2600-games/>`_
and multiprocessing for you. To install the Atari environments, run the command ``pip install gymnasium[atari,accept-rom-license]`` to install the Atari environments and ROMs, or install Stable Baselines3 with ``pip install stable-baselines3[extra]`` to install this and other optional dependencies.

PyBullet: Normalizing input features
------------------------------------
Normalizing input features may be essential to successful training of an RL agent
(by default, images are scaled, but other types of input are not),
for instance when training on `PyBullet <https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/>`__ environments.
For this, there is a wrapper ``VecNormalize`` that will compute a running average and standard deviation of the input features (it can do the same for rewards).
.. note::
you need to install pybullet envs with ``pip install pybullet_envs_gymnasium``
.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg
:target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/pybullet.ipynb
.. code-block:: python
from pathlib import Path
import pybullet_envs_gymnasium
from stable_baselines3.common.vec_env import VecNormalize
from stable_baselines3.common.env_util import make_vec_env
from stable_baselines3 import PPO
# Alternatively, you can use the MuJoCo equivalent "HalfCheetah-v4"
vec_env = make_vec_env("HalfCheetahBulletEnv-v0", n_envs=1)
# Automatically normalize the input features and reward
vec_env = VecNormalize(vec_env, norm_obs=True, norm_reward=True, clip_obs=10.0)
model = PPO("MlpPolicy", vec_env)
model.learn(total_timesteps=2000)
# Don't forget to save the VecNormalize statistics when saving the agent
log_dir = Path("/tmp/")
model.save(log_dir / "ppo_halfcheetah")
stats_path = log_dir / "vec_normalize.pkl"
vec_env.save(stats_path)
# To demonstrate loading
del model, vec_env
# Load the saved statistics
vec_env = make_vec_env("HalfCheetahBulletEnv-v0", n_envs=1)
vec_env = VecNormalize.load(stats_path, vec_env)
# do not update them at test time
vec_env.training = False
# reward normalization is not needed at test time
vec_env.norm_reward = False
# Load the agent
model = PPO.load(log_dir / "ppo_halfcheetah", env=vec_env)
Hindsight Experience Replay (HER)
---------------------------------
For this example, we are using `Highway-Env <https://github.com/eleurent/highway-env>`_ by `@eleurent <https://github.com/eleurent>`_.
.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg
:target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/stable_baselines_her.ipynb
.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eleurent/highway-env/gh-media/docs/media/parking-env.gif
The highway-parking-v0 environment.
The parking env is a goal-conditioned continuous control task, in which the vehicle must park in a given space with the appropriate heading.
.. note::
The hyperparameters in the following example were optimized for that environment.
.. code-block:: python
import gymnasium as gym
import highway_env
import numpy as np
from stable_baselines3 import HerReplayBuffer, SAC, DDPG, TD3
from stable_baselines3.common.noise import NormalActionNoise
env = gym.make("parking-v0")
# Create 4 artificial transitions per real transition
n_sampled_goal = 4
# SAC hyperparams:
model = SAC(
"MultiInputPolicy",
env,
replay_buffer_class=HerReplayBuffer,
replay_buffer_kwargs=dict(
n_sampled_goal=n_sampled_goal,
goal_selection_strategy="future",
),
verbose=1,
buffer_size=int(1e6),
learning_rate=1e-3,
gamma=0.95,
batch_size=256,
policy_kwargs=dict(net_arch=[256, 256, 256]),
)
model.learn(int(2e5))
model.save("her_sac_highway")
# Load saved model
# Because it needs access to `env.compute_reward()`
# HER must be loaded with the env
env = gym.make("parking-v0", render_mode="human") # Change the render mode
model = SAC.load("her_sac_highway", env=env)
obs, info = env.reset()
# Evaluate the agent
episode_reward = 0
for _ in range(100):
action, _ = model.predict(obs, deterministic=True)
obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
episode_reward += reward
if terminated or truncated or info.get("is_success", False):
print("Reward:", episode_reward, "Success?", info.get("is_success", False))
episode_reward = 0.0
obs, info = env.reset()
Learning Rate Schedule
----------------------
All algorithms allow you to pass a learning rate schedule that takes as input the current progress remaining (from 1 to 0).
``PPO``'s ``clip_range``` parameter also accepts such schedule.
The `RL Zoo <https://github.com/DLR-RM/rl-baselines3-zoo>`_ already includes
linear and constant schedules.
.. code-block:: python
from typing import Callable
from stable_baselines3 import PPO
def linear_schedule(initial_value: float) -> Callable[[float], float]:
"""
Linear learning rate schedule.
:param initial_value: Initial learning rate.
:return: schedule that computes
current learning rate depending on remaining progress
"""
def func(progress_remaining: float) -> float:
"""
Progress will decrease from 1 (beginning) to 0.
:param progress_remaining:
:return: current learning rate
"""
return progress_remaining * initial_value
return func
# Initial learning rate of 0.001
model = PPO("MlpPolicy", "CartPole-v1", learning_rate=linear_schedule(0.001), verbose=1)
model.learn(total_timesteps=20_000)
# By default, `reset_num_timesteps` is True, in which case the learning rate schedule resets.
# progress_remaining = 1.0 - (num_timesteps / total_timesteps)
model.learn(total_timesteps=10_000, reset_num_timesteps=True)
Advanced Saving and Loading
---------------------------------
In this example, we show how to use a policy independently from a model (and how to save it, load it) and save/load a replay buffer.
By default, the replay buffer is not saved when calling ``model.save()``, in order to save space on the disk (a replay buffer can be up to several GB when using images).
However, SB3 provides a ``save_replay_buffer()`` and ``load_replay_buffer()`` method to save it separately.
.. note::
For training model after loading it, we recommend loading the replay buffer to ensure stable learning (for off-policy algorithms).
You also need to pass ``reset_num_timesteps=True`` to ``learn`` function which initializes the environment
and agent for training if a new environment was created since saving the model.
.. image:: ../_static/img/colab-badge.svg
:target: https://colab.research.google.com/github/Stable-Baselines-Team/rl-colab-notebooks/blob/sb3/advanced_saving_loading.ipynb
.. code-block:: python
from stable_baselines3 import SAC
from stable_baselines3.common.evaluation import evaluate_policy
from stable_baselines3.sac.policies import MlpPolicy
# Create the model and the training environment
model = SAC("MlpPolicy", "Pendulum-v1", verbose=1,
learning_rate=1e-3)
# train the model
model.learn(total_timesteps=6000)
# save the model
model.save("sac_pendulum")
# the saved model does not contain the replay buffer
loaded_model = SAC.load("sac_pendulum")
print(f"The loaded_model has {loaded_model.replay_buffer.size()} transitions in its buffer")
# now save the replay buffer too
model.save_replay_buffer("sac_replay_buffer")
# load it into the loaded_model
loaded_model.load_replay_buffer("sac_replay_buffer")
# now the loaded replay is not empty anymore
print(f"The loaded_model has {loaded_model.replay_buffer.size()} transitions in its buffer")
# Save the policy independently from the model
# Note: if you don't save the complete model with `model.save()`
# you cannot continue training afterward
policy = model.policy
policy.save("sac_policy_pendulum")
# Retrieve the environment
env = model.get_env()
# Evaluate the policy
mean_reward, std_reward = evaluate_policy(policy, env, n_eval_episodes=10, deterministic=True)
print(f"mean_reward={mean_reward:.2f} +/- {std_reward}")
# Load the policy independently from the model
saved_policy = MlpPolicy.load("sac_policy_pendulum")
# Evaluate the loaded policy
mean_reward, std_reward = evaluate_policy(saved_policy, env, n_eval_episodes=10, deterministic=True)
print(f"mean_reward={mean_reward:.2f} +/- {std_reward}")
Accessing and modifying model parameters
----------------------------------------
You can access model's parameters via ``set_parameters`` and ``get_parameters`` functions,
or via ``model.policy.state_dict()`` (and ``load_state_dict()``),
which use dictionaries that map variable names to PyTorch tensors.
These functions are useful when you need to e.g. evaluate large set of models with same network structure,
visualize different layers of the network or modify parameters manually.
Policies also offers a simple way to save/load weights as a NumPy vector, using ``parameters_to_vector()``
and ``load_from_vector()`` method.
Following example demonstrates reading parameters, modifying some of them and loading them to model
by implementing `evolution strategy (es) <http://blog.otoro.net/2017/10/29/visual-evolution-strategies/>`_
for solving the ``CartPole-v1`` environment. The initial guess for parameters is obtained by running
A2C policy gradient updates on the model.

SB3 with Isaac Lab, Brax, Procgen, EnvPool
------------------------------------------
Some massively parallel simulations such as `EnvPool <https://github.com/sail-sg/envpool>`_, `Isaac Lab <https://github.com/isaac-sim/IsaacLab>`_, `Brax <https://github.com/google/brax>`_ or `ProcGen <https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Procgen2>`_ already produce a vectorized environment to speed up data collection (see discussion in `issue #314 <https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3/issues/314>`_).
To use SB3 with these tools, you need to wrap the env with tool-specific ``VecEnvWrapper`` that pre-processes the data for SB3,
you can find links to some of these wrappers in `issue #772 <https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3/issues/772#issuecomment-1048657002>`_.

SB3 with DeepMind Control (dm_control)
--------------------------------------
If you want to use SB3 with `dm_control <https://github.com/google-deepmind/dm_control>`_, you need to use two wrappers (one from `shimmy <https://github.com/Farama-Foundation/Shimmy>`_, one pre-built one) to convert it to a Gymnasium compatible environment:
.. code-block:: python
import shimmy
import stable_baselines3 as sb3
from dm_control import suite
from gymnasium.wrappers import FlattenObservation
# Available envs:
# suite._DOMAINS and suite.dog.SUITE
env = suite.load(domain_name="dog", task_name="run")
gym_env = FlattenObservation(shimmy.DmControlCompatibilityV0(env))
model = sb3.PPO("MlpPolicy", gym_env, verbose=1)
model.learn(10_000, progress_bar=True)
Record a Video
--------------
Record a mp4 video (here using a random agent).
.. note::
It requires ``ffmpeg`` or ``avconv`` to be installed on the machine.
.. code-block:: python
import gymnasium as gym
from stable_baselines3.common.vec_env import VecVideoRecorder, DummyVecEnv
env_id = "CartPole-v1"
video_folder = "logs/videos/"
video_length = 100
vec_env = DummyVecEnv([lambda: gym.make(env_id, render_mode="rgb_array")])
obs = vec_env.reset()
# Record the video starting at the first step
vec_env = VecVideoRecorder(vec_env, video_folder,
record_video_trigger=lambda x: x == 0, video_length=video_length,
name_prefix=f"random-agent-{env_id}")
vec_env.reset()
for _ in range(video_length + 1):
action = [vec_env.action_space.sample()]
obs, _, _, _ = vec_env.step(action)
# Save the video
vec_env.close()
Bonus: Make a GIF of a Trained Agent
------------------------------------
.. code-block:: python
import imageio
import numpy as np
from stable_baselines3 import A2C
model = A2C("MlpPolicy", "LunarLander-v2").learn(100_000)
images = []
obs = model.env.reset()
img = model.env.render(mode="rgb_array")
for i in range(350):
images.append(img)
action, _ = model.predict(obs)
obs, _, _ ,_ = model.env.step(action)
img = model.env.render(mode="rgb_array")
imageio.mimsave("lander_a2c.gif", [np.array(img) for i, img in enumerate(images) if i%2 == 0], fps=29)
