Hydra is an open-source Python framework that simplifies the development of complex applications by dynamically composing hierarchical configurations.

Developed by Meta Research, Hydra eliminates the boilerplate code typically required for command-line argument parsing and logging. It allows you to compose your application's configuration from multiple sources (files or the command line) just before execution, making it a staple for machine learning experiments where hyperparameters change frequently. Key features like the Multirun flag enable you to launch dozens of jobs with varying parameters using a single command, while its pluggable architecture supports seamless integration with remote launchers like Slurm or AWS. By providing type safety through OmegaConf and dynamic tab completion in the shell, Hydra ensures that scaling from a local script to a distributed cluster remains efficient and error-free.

### [How do you train AlphaZero-style RL models at 100M steps/sec on one GPU using Jaxpot](https://poland.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_M0hzwiMQakQ)

We built bards-ai/Jaxpot: an open-source JAX library for training RL agents via self-play, built around extreme environment parallelism. Everything runs on the GPU - env steps, agent forward passes, and training - so you can hit 100M+ environment steps/second on a single GPU - a peace that makes RL training viable on consumer-level hardware. I'll show live how to code an environment in a GPU-parallelism-friendly way, how to set up agents, and how to train an expert-level agent with zero supervised data - purely by models playing themselves in environment, AlphaZero-style.
