# DeepMind Lab is a 3D learning environment based on id Software's Quake III Arena via ioquake3 and other open source software. DeepMind Lab provides a suite of challenging 3D navigation and puzzle-solving tasks for learning agents. Its primary purpose is to act as a testbed for research in artificial intelligence, especially deep reinforcement learning. Disclaimer: This is not an official Google product. If you use DeepMind Lab in your research and would like to cite the DeepMind Lab environment, we suggest you cite the DeepMind Lab paper. You can reach us at lab@deepmind.com. For a live example of a random agent, run Here is some more detailed build documentation, including how to install dependencies if you don't have them. To enable compiler optimizations, pass the flag --compilationmode=opt, or -c opt for short, to each bazel build, bazel test and bazel run command. The flag is omitted from the examples…

Topics and intended use
Owner-supplied topics: artificial-intelligence, deep-learning, machine-learning, neural-networks
Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
