Basic Information

LlamaGym is a small Python library designed to simplify fine-tuning large language model agents using online reinforcement learning within Gym-style environments. It provides an Agent abstract class that centralizes handling of LLM conversation context, episode batching, reward assignment and integration with RL training loops so developers can more quickly iterate on agent prompting and hyperparameters. The README includes example usage showing how to implement three abstract methods to format observations, provide a system prompt, and extract actions, and demonstrates a typical RL loop that calls act, assign_reward and terminate_episode. The project is explicitly focused on making experimentation with online RL for LLM-based agents easier rather than providing a highly optimized production RL system.

App Details

Features
A single Agent abstract class that encapsulates LLM-specific RL responsibilities such as managing dialogue context, batching episodes, and applying rewards. Example-driven API with required methods get_system_prompt, format_observation and extract_action to customize agent behavior. Ready-to-run usage pattern showing integration with transformer models via an AutoModelForCausalLMWithValueHead and AutoTokenizer and a standard Gym environment loop. Packaged as a Python library available via pip for quick installation. Includes example scripts such as an examples/blackjack.py to get started. Emphasizes simplicity and rapid experimentation over compute efficiency and notes related work and citation information for research context.
Use Cases
LlamaGym reduces boilerplate for researchers and developers who want to train LLM agents online by providing a minimal framework that integrates model, tokenizer and Gym environments into a straightforward RL loop. It lets users focus on designing prompts, observation formatting and reward structure rather than plumbing for episode management and PPO-style training setup. The example Blackjack agent and code snippets demonstrate how to plug in a causal LLM with a value head, run episodes, assign rewards and trigger training when batches fill. The project is useful as a weekend project or research prototype for iterating on agent prompting and hyperparameters, with a note that convergence requires careful tuning and that supervised pre-fine-tuning may help.
