The important moves in artificial intelligence.

Adversarial attacks on neural network policies

Team update

The OpenAI team is now 45 people. Together, we’re pushing the frontier of AI capabilities—whether by validating novel ideas, creating new software systems, or deploying machine learning on robots.

PixelCNN++: Improving the PixelCNN with discretized logistic mixture likelihood and other modifications

Faulty reward functions in the wild

Reinforcement learning algorithms can break in surprising, counterintuitive ways. In this post we’ll explore one failure mode, which is where you misspecify your reward function.

Universe

We’re releasing Universe, a software platform for measuring and training an AI’s general intelligence across the world’s supply of games, websites and other applications.

#Exploration: A study of count-based exploration for deep reinforcement learning

OpenAI and Microsoft

We’re working with Microsoft to start running most of our large-scale experiments on Azure.
