Hundreds of worker failures and the result is the same.

About SN9 iota

Macrocosmos@MacrocosmosAI

Hundreds of worker failures and the result is the same. We don't think about fault tolerance any more.

Quoting @IOTA_SN9

A question we often hear from teams evaluating the IOTA SDK: if I train this again, do I get the same model? We ran 7 independent 16B pretraining runs, ~140 GPUs each. Between them, 585 worker crashes, preemptions and rejoins. The loss curves are almost identical. Reproducibility is what turns a result into science instead of a one-off. It's also what makes a training run worth paying for. Most distributed training projects overfit to a single experiment: one model, one recipe, one demo run. The IOTA SDK is general purpose, fault-tolerant and reproducible. iota.macrocosmos.ai/sdk
