The ongoing process of establishing verification points where progress is confirmed and recorded, commonly used in computing and operations.
From 'checkpoint' with the progressive suffix '-ing'. In computing science, this term describes the critical process of saving system states at intervals.
In machine learning and AI training, checkpointing every few hours saves researchers enormous time—if a system crashes after 48 hours of training, they restart from the last checkpoint instead of losing everything.
