  | Hello Gimpei. Spice.ai currently supports two algorithms,
  | Vanilla Policy Gradient and Deep Q-Learning. It provides an
  | interface to plug in your own algorithms, though. We're looking
  | to add more to it as we go along.

  | patterns that are familiar to them. We're a group of devs that
  | were looking to add intelligence to one of our projects, but
  | struggling with existing tooling. We wanted to use patterns
  | that were more familiar to us as devs, like a quick debugging
  | loop, easily consumed packages, etc.

  | Yes, it needs a quick start somewhere.

    | Try out one of the quickstarts using Github Codespaces. No
