Review a large-model rollout plan
Assess whether a model distribution plan can safely reach a thousand GPU workers inside its rollout window.
Unlock with Full AccessThe challenge
A one-terabyte model must reach a thousand GPU workers within two hours. It is split into immutable shards, but the artifact store has a shared transfer limit and each worker has its own bandwidth ceiling.
Review the team's distribution and activation plan before approving tomorrow's rollout. The exercise connects the time needed to move the files with the conditions under which the fleet can safely start serving the new version.
What you'll practise
Distribution capacity
Relate the rollout window to bottlenecks in the artifact store and worker fleet.
Safe activation
Check what establishes a complete, correct release before a worker begins serving it.
Explain the issue, its consequence and the change you would make.
