Welcome to GBRL’s documentation!

GBRL is a Python-based Gradient Boosting Trees (GBT) library, similar to popular packages such as XGBoost , CatBoost , but specifically designed and optimized for reinforcement learning (RL). GBRL is implemented in C++/CUDA aimed to seamlessly integrate within popular RL libraries.
