Getting started

Arena is a web app for running reinforcement learning experiments, training on datasets, and deploying agents. You work inside an organization (your workspace). Projects group experiments. Each experiment goes through a setup wizard, then runs on Arena compute.

What you need

  • An Arena account. Sign-in goes through your organization’s identity provider.

  • Balance: an Admin on your organization to open Billing and members and add balance.

Use Chrome for the most reliable experience in Arena. Other current browsers are supported.

Account access

New accounts register on the Arena sign-up page. Enter your details, choose a strong password, and confirm with Register. You start on Pay as you go with $110.00 and no card on file. Arena then walks you through account setup.

Sign in from the login page with your email and Sign In.

Forgotten password: open the forgot-password flow, enter your registered email, and follow the reset link in email (links expire after 24 hours). Set a new password, then sign in again.

Profile and billing sit under the profile menu (top right). See Account.

Finding your way around

After sign-in you land on Home. The page has dashboard stats, recent projects and experiments, Get started, and Latest changes. The sidebar on the left is the main navigation:

Account settings sit in the profile menu (top right, org initials). Everyone sees Profile management. Org Admins also see Usage and Billing and members. On an Enterprise org they also see Bring your own compute (BYOC).

First decisions

  1. Classic RL or Advanced Training on the Training switcher when you create a project. You cannot switch modes for an existing project. See Classic vs Advanced Training.

  2. Balance. Training runs spend balance. A new org starts with $110.00. Admins add more on Billing and members.

Suggested path

  1. Tutorials with screenshots for each click (also linked from Home).

  2. Quickstart: create a project, run the tutorial experiment, open results.

  3. Balance and plans when you need to understand billing.

  4. Account for profile, CLI keys, and org switching.

Interactive tutorials on Home start when you click Setting up an experiment or Custom environment under Get started. Press X to leave a tour.
