The Need for Speed: The Story of How We Achieved Industry Leading TTP
summary
Meta resets NPI scope to include the full software stack (schedulers, frameworks, customer models) and gives product groups a veto on PVT so production criteria must pass. Grand Teton (H100) cuts TTP from 22 weeks to 4 weeks; Artemis with MTIA pushes that to 1 month TTP. Teams adopt a zero buffer schedule, identify critical paths, decouple dependencies, and parallelize thousands of work items (Gantt charts) to enable early PG enablement and large‑scale training.
