Morpheus: A New Benchmark for Continual Learning
A_K_Nain · x · 2026-07-14
Morpheus is introduced as a persistent, online enterprise simulation platform for continual learning, aiming to bring reinforcement learning closer to the real world.
The author points out that traditional RL benchmarks (like Atari, Gym, MuJoCo, Procgen) are game-like environments that frequently reset. The real world, however, does not reset; enterprise environments continuously evolve, and objectives change asynchronously. To address this, they designed a non-resetting environment where decision consequences accumulate. Testing frontier LLMs in this setup revealed a clear conclusion: these models currently lack continual learning capabilities.
