abstract: >-
  Gymnasium is an open-source library providing an API for
  reinforcement learning environments. Its main contribution
  is a central abstraction for wide interoperability between
  benchmark environments and training algorithms. Gymnasium
  comes with various built-in environments and utilities to
  simplify researchers’ work along with being supported by
  most training libraries. This paper outlines the main
  design decisions for Gymnasium, its key features, and the
  differences to alternative APIs.
