In machine learning, a checkpoint is a snapshot of a model's state saved at a particular point during training. It contains the learned weights and may also store information needed to resume training, such as the optimizer state. Unlike a final released model, checkpoints are created at multiple points during training so they can be compared or used to roll back.
