arXiv:2605.27556v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-fidelity simulation models are widely used to analyze complex stochastic systems, but their high computational cost motivates the development of cheaper surrogate models that approximate the simulation model's input-output relationship. In parallel, reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful framework for making online decisions in stochastic environments, with increasing attention being given to the use of simulation models as training environments for RL models. We investigate a class of surrogate models suitable for accelerat
The increasing computational demands of complex AI models and the rising cost and scarcity of compute resources make efficiency gains in training procedures critical.
Accelerating RL training through surrogate models directly impacts the speed of AI development, commercialization, and deployment in real-world applications.
The ability to train more sophisticated reinforcement learning agents faster and with fewer computational resources shifts the economics and accessibility of advanced AI.
