RL² capability: fast reinforcement learning via slow reinforcement learning
AI Impact Summary
RL² aims to accelerate reinforcement learning on new tasks by leveraging slow, multi-task experience to bootstrap fast adaptation. Implementing this capability requires multi-task training support, episode-level data organization, and memory-based policy architectures to reuse prior experience. For engineering teams, this could reduce time-to-value for RL deployments and lower total compute per task, but introduces complexity in data pipelines and transfer evaluation.

Business Impact
Adopting RL² can shorten time-to-train for new tasks and reduce per-task compute by reusing knowledge from prior tasks, but requires multi-task data pipelines and monitoring to ensure transfer performance.
