All is Not Lost: LLM Recovery without Checkpoints
CheckFree recovers intermediate stage failures in pipeline-parallel LLM training via neighbor averaging; CheckFree+ adds out-of-order execution to handle first/last stages by copying neighbors, with small embedding storage, outperforming checkpointing and redundancy at 5-10% failure rates by up to
