Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (Metta-AI/metta): Delivered a comprehensive Config System upgrade, strengthened main-branch parity, and advanced testing and experiment tooling, driving reliability and faster iteration. Key outcomes include flexible baseline URIs, URI-based path handling, and a shift to normal-distribution sampling for training, enabling more stable experiments. Major maintenance and code-cleanup reduced drift and maintenance overhead, while wandb_ttl restoration ensures consistent experiment tracking. Overall impact: higher configuration reliability, reproducible experiments, and a clearer, more maintainable codebase.

Dec 1, 2024December 2024 highlights for Metta-AI/metta: notable progress in simulation realism, experimentation, and tooling, with stability improvements to enable faster iteration and reproducible results. Key features delivered include borders and walls in MettaGrid maps (visual borders around rooms, outer walls, and a walls-enabled environment configuration) which enhance training fidelity and data quality. DevOps tooling for Vast.ai and CLI management was advanced with an integrated management CLI (do.py) and refinements, including a rollback/simplification of CLI functions to reduce operational risk. The month also added support for controlled experimentation by varying agent populations in MettaGrid, updated training configurations via rooms_without_walls, and improved evaluation guidance through PufferEvaluator documentation. Major bug fixes and stability enhancements included rollback of CLI changes and a revert of main-pulled adjustments to restore baseline behavior, along with a targeted energy reward tweak to stabilize training signals. Overall impact: higher fidelity simulations, faster iteration cycles, clearer evaluation standards, and enhanced reproducibility across experiments. Technologies demonstrated: Python tooling, CLI automation, configuration management, experiment orchestration, and comprehensive documentation.”
