If you need to share a fixed model across multiple machines, you can store the checkpoint in a cloud storage service like S3, r2, GCS, or IBM COS. You can use the COPY mode to fetch the checkpoint from the storage to the machine. If speed is a concern, you can use the crt transfer client for syncing from the local file system to S3. You can set the preferred transfer client to crt in the AWS config or use the aws configure set default.s3.preferred_transfer_client crt command.
