|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

70
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

|
|
86
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
87

130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,

|
139
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

|
|
143

+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions

|
|
155

|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+

173
|
+
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
|
|
174

A PyTorch port of DeepMind's **Disco103** — the meta-learned reinforcement learning update rule from [*Discovering State-of-the-art Reinforcement Learning Algorithms*](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09761-x) (Nature, 2025).
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
## What is DiscoRL?
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
Instead of hand-crafted loss functions like PPO or GRPO, DiscoRL uses a small LSTM neural network (the "meta-network") that **generates loss targets** for RL agents. Given a rollout of agent experience — policy logits, rewards, advantages, auxiliary predictions — the meta-network outputs target distributions. The agent then minimizes KL divergence between its outputs and these learned targets.
|
|
44
|
+
|
|
45
|
+
The Disco103 checkpoint (754,778 parameters) was meta-trained by DeepMind across thousands of Atari-like environments. It generalizes as a drop-in update rule for new tasks — no reward shaping, no hyperparameter-specific loss design.
|
|
46
|
+
|
|
47
|
+
## Why a PyTorch port?
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
The [original implementation](https://github.com/google-deepmind/disco_rl) uses JAX + Haiku. This port enables using Disco103 in PyTorch training pipelines without any JAX dependency at inference time.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
## Installation
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
```bash
|
|
54
|
+
pip install disco-torch
|
|
55
|
+
```
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
With optional extras:
|
|
58
|
+
|

meta_out, new_state = rule.meta_net(inputs, state)
|
|
102
|
+
# meta_out["pi"] — policy loss targets [T, B, A]
|
|
103
|
+
# meta_out["y"] — value loss targets [T, B, 600]
|
|
104
|
+
# meta_out["z"] — auxiliary loss targets [T, B, 600]
|
|
105
|

```
|
|

+
|
|
107
|
+
### Full training loop
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
```python
|
|
110
|
+
# At each learner step:
|
|
111
|
+
meta_out, new_meta_state = rule.unroll_meta_net(
|
|
112
|
+
rollout, agent_params, meta_state, unroll_fn, hyper_params
|
|
113
|
+
)
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
# Compute agent loss (KL divergence against meta-network targets)
|
|
116
|
+
loss, logs = rule.agent_loss(rollout, meta_out, hyper_params)
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
# Value function loss (no meta-gradient)
|
|
119
|
+
value_loss, value_logs = rule.agent_loss_no_meta(rollout, meta_out, hyper_params)
|
|
120
|
+
```
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
## Architecture
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
```
|
|
125
|
+
Outer (per-trajectory):
|
|
126
|
+
y_net MLP [600 -> 16 -> 1] Value prediction embedding
|
|
127
|
+
z_net MLP [600 -> 16 -> 1] Auxiliary prediction embedding
|
|
128
|
+
policy_net Conv1dNet [9 -> 16 -> 2] Action-conditional embedding
|
|
129
|
+
trajectory_rnn LSTM(27, 256) Reverse-unrolled over trajectory
|
|
130
|
+
state_gate Linear(128 -> 256) Multiplicative gate from meta-RNN
|
|
131
|
+
y_head / z_head Linear(256 -> 600) Loss targets for y and z
|
|
132
|
+
pi_conv + head Conv1dNet [258 -> 16] -> 1 Policy loss target (per action)
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
Meta-RNN (per-lifetime):
|
|
135
|
+
Separate y/z/policy nets, input MLP(29 -> 16), LSTMCell(16, 128)
|
|
136
|
+
```
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
The outer network processes each trajectory with a reverse-unrolled LSTM. The meta-RNN operates at a slower timescale — it sees batch-time averages and modulates the outer network via a multiplicative gate. This two-level architecture lets the update rule adapt its behavior over an agent's lifetime.

|
139
|

|
|
140
|
+
## End-to-end example: Tiny Transformer
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
The flagship example trains a **1-layer causal transformer** (~141K params) to generate strictly increasing digit sequences, using Disco103 as the RL update rule. No supervised data — the agent learns purely from a per-token reward signal.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
**[Open in Google Colab](examples/tinylm_disco_colab.ipynb)** (runs on free T4 GPU)
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
Using curriculum learning (sequence lengths 4→6→8), the agent achieves **86% strictly increasing** on 8-token sequences, discovering sequences like `[0, 1, 5, 6, 5, 7, 8, 9]`. See [`experiments.md`](experiments.md) for the full research log.

A simpler CartPole example is also provided for API reference:

+
|
|
155
|
+
```bash

158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
> **Note:** Disco103 was meta-trained on 103 complex environments (Atari, ProcGen, DMLab-30). Both CartPole and token generation are outside this distribution. See [`experiments.md`](experiments.md) for analysis of how this affects transfer.

|
+
To run the test suite (no JAX required):
|
|
202
|
+
|
|
203
|
+
```bash
|
|
204
|
+
pip install disco-torch[dev]
|
|
205
|
+
pytest
|
|
206
|
+
```
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
To run JAX cross-validation (requires JAX + disco_rl):
|
|
209
|
+
|
|
210
|
+
```bash
|
|
211
|
+
pip install disco_rl jax dm-haiku rlax distrax
|
|
212
|
+
python scripts/validate_against_jax.py
|
|
213
|
+
```
|
|
214
|
+
|
|
215
|
+
## Key implementation details
|
|
216
|
+
|
|
217
|
+
- **HaikuLSTMCell**: Haiku uses gate order `[i, g, f, o]` with a +1 forget gate bias, vs PyTorch's `[i, f, g, o]`. This is handled by a custom LSTM cell.
|
|
218
|
+
- **Weight mapping**: The 42 JAX/Haiku parameters have nested path names (e.g., `lstm/~/meta_lstm/~unroll/mlp_2/~/linear_0/w`). `load_weights.py` maps every one to the correct PyTorch module.
|
|
219
|
+
- **Conv1dBlock**: Each block concatenates per-action features with their mean across actions before the convolution — matching the JAX implementation's broadcast pattern.
|
|
220
|
+
- **Value utilities**: V-trace, Retrace-style Q-value estimation, signed hyperbolic transforms, and 2-hot categorical encoding are all ported.
|
|

A PyTorch port of DeepMind's **Disco103** — the meta-learned reinforcement learning update rule from [*Discovering State-of-the-art Reinforcement Learning Algorithms*](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09761-x) (Nature, 2025).

## What is DiscoRL?
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
Instead of hand-crafted loss functions like PPO or GRPO, DiscoRL uses a small LSTM neural network (the "meta-network") that **generates loss targets** for RL agents. Given a rollout of agent experience — policy logits, rewards, advantages, auxiliary predictions — the meta-network outputs target distributions. The agent then minimizes KL divergence between its outputs and these learned targets.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
The Disco103 checkpoint (754,778 parameters) was meta-trained by DeepMind across thousands of Atari-like environments. It generalizes as a drop-in update rule for new tasks — no reward shaping, no hyperparameter-specific loss design.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
## Why a PyTorch port?
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
The [original implementation](https://github.com/google-deepmind/disco_rl) uses JAX + Haiku. This port enables using Disco103 in PyTorch training pipelines without any JAX dependency at inference time.
|

Meta-RNN (per-lifetime):
|
|
99
|
+
Separate y/z/policy nets, input MLP(29 -> 16), LSTMCell(16, 128)
|
|
100
|
+
```
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
The outer network processes each trajectory with a reverse-unrolled LSTM. The meta-RNN operates at a slower timescale — it sees batch-time averages and modulates the outer network via a multiplicative gate. This two-level architecture lets the update rule adapt its behavior over an agent's lifetime.

## End-to-end example: Tiny Transformer
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
The flagship example trains a **1-layer causal transformer** (~141K params) to generate strictly increasing digit sequences, using Disco103 as the RL update rule. No supervised data — the agent learns purely from a per-token reward signal.
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
**[Open in Google Colab](examples/tinylm_disco_colab.ipynb)** (runs on free T4 GPU)
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
Using curriculum learning (sequence lengths 4→6→8), the agent achieves **86% strictly increasing** on 8-token sequences, discovering sequences like `[0, 1, 5, 6, 5, 7, 8, 9]`. See [`experiments.md`](experiments.md) for the full research log.

A simpler CartPole example is also provided for API reference:
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
```bash
|
|
120
|
+
python examples/cartpole_disco.py --weights weights/disco_103.npz
|
|
121
|
+
```
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
> **Note:** Disco103 was meta-trained on 103 complex environments (Atari, ProcGen, DMLab-30). Both CartPole and token generation are outside this distribution. See [`experiments.md`](experiments.md) for analysis of how this affects transfer.

To run the test suite (no JAX required):
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
```bash
|
|
168
|
+
pip install disco-torch[dev]
|
|
169
|
+
pytest
|
|
170
|
+
```
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
To run JAX cross-validation (requires JAX + disco_rl):
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
```bash
|
|
175
|
+
pip install disco_rl jax dm-haiku rlax distrax
|
|
176
|
+
python scripts/validate_against_jax.py
|
|
177
|
+
```
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
## Key implementation details
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
- **HaikuLSTMCell**: Haiku uses gate order `[i, g, f, o]` with a +1 forget gate bias, vs PyTorch's `[i, f, g, o]`. This is handled by a custom LSTM cell.
|
|
182
|
+
- **Weight mapping**: The 42 JAX/Haiku parameters have nested path names (e.g., `lstm/~/meta_lstm/~unroll/mlp_2/~/linear_0/w`). `load_weights.py` maps every one to the correct PyTorch module.
|
|
183
|
+
- **Conv1dBlock**: Each block concatenates per-action features with their mean across actions before the convolution — matching the JAX implementation's broadcast pattern.
|
|
184
|
+
- **Value utilities**: V-trace, Retrace-style Q-value estimation, signed hyperbolic transforms, and 2-hot categorical encoding are all ported.
|
|
