warm start
System partially ready
A warm start is restarting a computer or system without fully powering down, preserving some data in memory.
In machine learning, it means initializing a model with previously learned parameters rather than starting from scratch: We used a warm start to speed up training.
The term contrasts with cold start, where everything begins fresh.
