New benchmark Banyan tests continual RL transfer and learning

Researchers have developed Banyan, a new benchmark for continual reinforcement learning that utilizes GPU acceleration. This benchmark allows for controlled manipulation of task diversity across navigation, object interaction, and hierarchical sub-goal structures. While increasing diversity improves agents' ability to generalize to new tasks without retraining, it does not inherently guarantee sustained continual learning, as agents may still forget earlier tasks or plateau on longer-horizon objectives.
