What It Means
2: the action or a process of iterating or repeating: such as
a: a procedure in which repetition of a sequence of operations yields results successively closer to a desired result
b: the repetition of a sequence of computer instructions a specified number of times or until a condition is met
: one execution of a sequence of operations or instructions in an iteration
Iteration in Context
“The first iterations of any technology are rarely efficient, and the bill for generative AI was always going to come due: Companies need to start making money eventually, and that’s probably impossible at current energy consumption levels. —Jackie Snow, Quartz, 3 Feb. 2025
