The key to developer velocity across AI lies in minimizing time to first batch (TTFB) for machine learning (ML) engineers. Time to first batch (TTFB), the delay from when a workflow is submitted to the training job’s first batch, plays an important role in accelerating our machine learning (ML) engineers’ iteration speeds.
