Multi-slice TPU tasks were failing with `DEADLINE_EXCEEDED` and `Heartbeat` timeouts. Log analysis showed an observed 327s compilation window which exceeded the default JAX RPC timeout, causing nodes to be dropped before the training loop started.

Problem
Multi-slice TPU tasks were failing with
DEADLINE_EXCEEDEDandHeartbeattimeouts. Log analysis showed an observed 327s compilation window which exceeded the default JAX RPC timeout, causing nodes to be dropped before the training loop started.Solution
Optimized JAX coordination settings to ensure stability during heavy compilation:
"JAX_COORDINATION_SERVICE_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=1200 ": Prevents task termination during intensive computation.Tests
update version: jax_ai_image_tpu_e2e_time10_prcache
