Use the Online Network If You Can: Towards Fast and Stable ReinforcementLearning

Fast and Stable Reinforcement Learning with MINTO

What if your AI could learn as quickly as a child but never repeat the same mistake? Scientists have discovered a simple trick that lets machines do just that.
Instead of trusting a single “online” guess or a slower “target” guess, the new method—called MINTO—takes the lower of the two estimates, much like a student who checks two friends’ answers and picks the safer one.
This tiny change cuts down the time the AI needs to improve while keeping its learning steady, avoiding the wild swings that usually happen when it relies only on its own fast guesses.
The best part? MINTO slides right into existing AI recipes—whether they’re teaching robots to walk or helping games learn strategies—without adding extra cost.
Across dozens of tests, it consistently made the AI learn faster and more reliably.

Imagine a world where smarter, safer AI pops up in our phones, cars, and homes sooner than we thought.
With MINTO, that future feels a little nearer every day.
