Your question is Handling Node Failures in Training. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How do you handle node failures in a tightly coupled distributed training job without losing progress at together.ai (CA)?
Focus on the recovery strategy, trade-offs, and operational steps you would take. Assume the job is long-running, expensive, and sensitive to interruption, and explain how you would minimize lost work while keeping the system reliable.
