Hi @klausk55 ,

this is correct the cell state and hidden state do not get stored by `trainer.save()`. A way to get your states stored is by using RLlib’s `Offline API`. Just add a file path to the parameter `output` in your trainer `config` and it stores all sample batches therein you get the `state_out_0` and `state_out_1` which should be your hidden and cell state.

Hope this helps
