John Schulman, Filip Wolski, Prafulla Dhariwal, Alec Radford, and Oleg Klimov of OpenAI published the PPO algorithm. By implementing a clipped surrogate objective function to mathematically restrict policy updates to a safe probability ratio, PPO solved the notorious training instability of reinforcement learning, rapidly becoming the standard algorithmic baseline for continuous control and future AI alignment.
