This chapter introduces the world of OpenAI and uses it in relation to Reinforcement Learning.

First, we go through environments that are important to Reinforcement Learning. We talk about two supportive platforms that are useful for Reinforcement Learning—Google DeepMind and OpenAI, the latter of which is supported by Elon Musk. The completely open sourced OpenAI is discussed in this chapter and Google DeepMind is discussed in Chapter 6.

The chapter ...
