These full snapshots of model weights, optimizer states, and gradients are saved to storage so training can resume after interruptions. At scale, these checkpoints become massive (782 GB for a 70B model) and frequent (every 15-30 minutes), generating one of the largest line items in a training budget. Most AI teams chase GPU utilization…
