WarpSAC: Towards the Pinnacle of Scalable Off-policy RL by Rethinking Exploration and Exploitation
Diagnoses that off-policy stabilizers (parameter normalization, clipped double-Q) are data-regime-dependent, then proposes WarpSAC — a regime-aware family of off-policy RL algorithms with Sample Weight Decay and age-biased replay. Reports +4.5% AUC over FlashSAC across 9 CPU-scale environments and +23.1% across 14 GPU-parallel environments.
