Ephemeral Node State
Ephemeral Node State refers to a temporary and dynamic status assigned to nodes that have successfully passed cognitive validation and are ready to serve user tasks. Unlike static or permanently assigned nodes, ephemeral nodes are part of a pool that ensures flexibility and optimal resource allocation.
How It Works:
Validation: Nodes must pass cognitive tests to ensure they meet quality standards for AI inference.
Availability: Once validated, nodes enter the ephemeral state, meaning they are on standby, ready to take on user tasks.
Session Assignment: When a task is allocated from the session queue, an ephemeral node is temporarily assigned and marked as "reserved."
Release & Revalidation: After completing the session, the node is released back to the ephemeral pool but must undergo another cognitive validation before being reassigned.
Why It Matters:
Ensures High-Quality Inference: Continuous validation prevents degraded performance.
Optimizes Resource Allocation: Nodes are dynamically assigned based on real-time demand.
Improves Network Efficiency: Reduces idle time and maximizes utilization of available computing power.
By maintaining an Ephemeral Node Pool, Cortensor ensures only high-performing, validated nodes participate in AI inference, maintaining network reliability and efficiency.
