A Coding Implementation to Train Safety-Critical Reinforcement Learning Agents Offline Using Conservative Q-Learning with d3rlpy and Fixed Historical Data

In this tutorial, we build a safety-critical reinforcement learning pipeline that learns entirely from fixed, offline data rather than live exploration. We design a custom environment, generate a behavior dataset from a constrained policy, and then train both a Behavior…

Qwen Team Releases Qwen3-Coder-Next: An Open-Weight Language Model Designed Specifically for Coding Agents and Local Development

Qwen team has just released Qwen3-Coder-Next, an open-weight language model designed for coding agents and local development. It sits on top of the Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B backbone. The model uses a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with hybrid attention. It has 80B total…
