FedML vs on-policy

FedML: FedML is a unified and scalable open-source machine learning library powered by TensorOpera AI, enabling training and deployment of AI jobs anywhere at any scale. It offers holistic support for MLOps, scheduling, and high-performance ML libraries, including federated learning, distributed training, and generative AI functionalities.; on-policy: This repository implements MAPPO, a multi-agent variant of PPO, widely used in cooperative multi-agent games and research. It provides robust implementations for various multi-agent environments like StarCraft II, Hanabi, and Google Research Football, along with detailed training scripts and hyperparameter guidance.
