Can you list the hardware you used to train this? #3

I'd really appreciate it if you could mention the hardware you used to compete. This would give me an idea if an independent researcher can hope to do something in this area or is it mostly like LLMs, exclusively for large companies with huge amount of compute.

Just 2 moderately good CPUs -- one PC 8-core 11-gen (in this time it was the latest) and one older PC intel CPU with 12 cores. So basically you could do that on a laptop with not too bad CPU, but it could be more convenient to have more cores, because measuring improvement takes longer and longer (the better the agent is).

Many thanks for the quick response.
