## Definition

**Continual learning** refers to a model’s ability to keep improving or adapting through new training over time, rather than staying fixed after its initial training. In this channel’s material, the term is raised in the context of using game environments — such as _Diplomacy_ — as settings for evaluating and training language models [^01a0f15a-d881-7a49-9531-148c764e2dcd@0] [^01a0f15a-d881-7a49-9531-148c764e2dcd@935].

Within the captured material for this channel, **continual learning** appears as a term of interest in a discussion about training language models — specifically a conversation exploring how games, including a game of *Diplomacy* that seeded a $3.6 million AI startup, serve as rich environments for both **evaluating** and **training** language models [^01a0f15a-d881-7a49-9531-148c764e2dcd@0] [^01a0f15a-d881-7a49-9531-148c764e2dcd@935]. The captured evidence for this term is limited. Treat the definition above as the channel-level framing, and explore the related discussion for the surrounding context in which the term is raised — game environments as settings where models are tested and improved over time.  - **Continual learning** is the idea of a model improving or adapting over time rather than remaining fixed after initial training. - In this channel, the term is contextualized by a conversation about **games as training and evaluation environments** for language models. - The captured usage is sparse; the surrounding discussion — not an extended treatment — is where the term appears.
