JaxMARL combines ease-of-use with GPU-enabled efficiency, and supports a wide range of commonly used MARL environments as well as popular baseline algorithms. Our aim is for one library that enables thorough evaluation of MARL methods across a wide range of tasks and against relevant baselines. We also introduce SMAX, a vectorised, simplified version of the popular StarCraft Multi-Agent Challenge, which removes the need to run the StarCraft II game engine.
For more details, take a look at our blog post or our Colab notebook, which walks through the basic usage.

We follow CleanRL's philosophy of providing single file implementations which can be found within the baselines
directory. We use Hydra to manage our config files, with specifics explained in each algorithm's README. Most files include wandb
logging code, this is disabled by default but can be enabled within the file's config.

Environments - Before installing, ensure you have the correct JAX version for your hardware accelerator. The JaxMARL environments can be installed directly from PyPi:
pip install jaxmarl
Algorithms - If you would like to also run the algorithms, install the source code as follows:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/FLAIROx/JaxMARL.git && cd JaxMARL
- The requirements for IPPO & MAPPO can be installed with:
pip install -e . export PYTHONPATH=./JaxMARL:$PYTHONPATH
We take inspiration from the PettingZoo and Gymnax interfaces. You can try out training an agent in our Colab notebook. Further introduction scripts can be found here.
Basic JaxMARL API Usage 🖥️
Actions, observations, rewards and done values are passed as dictionaries keyed by agent name, allowing for differing action and observation spaces. The done dictionary contains an additional "__all__"
key, specifying whether the episode has ended. We follow a parallel structure, with each agent passing an action at each timestep. For asynchronous games, such as Hanabi, a dummy action is passed for agents not acting at a given timestep.
import jax
from jaxmarl import make
key = jax.random.PRNGKey(0)
key, key_reset, key_act, key_step = jax.random.split(key, 4)
# Initialise environment.
env = make('MPE_simple_world_comm_v3')
# Reset the environment.
obs, state = env.reset(key_reset)
# Sample random actions.
key_act = jax.random.split(key_act, env.num_agents)
actions = {agent: env.action_space(agent).sample(key_act[i]) for i, agent in enumerate(env.agents)}
# Perform the step transition.
obs, state, reward, done, infos = env.step(key_step, state, actions)
Dockerfile 🐋
To help get experiments up and running we include a Dockerfile and its corresponding Makefile. With Docker and the Nvidia Container Toolkit installed, the container can be built with:
make build
The built container can then be run:
make run
