Mean-Field Diffuser: Scaling Offline MARL to Thousands of Agents

Diffusion-based planning has achieved strong results in single-agent offline reinforcement learning, yet scaling to many-agent systems remains intractable due to the curse of dimensionality in the joint trajectory space. We introduce MF-Diffuser, a framework that lifts trajectory planning to the Wasserstein space of trajectory distributions, where the propagation of chaos ensures a small representative subset of agents captures the full population dynamics. Our approach features a value-weighted chaotic entropy objective that reconciles generative fidelity with return maximization, and a hierarchical coarse-to-fine strategy that progressively grows the agent population during denoising.
