Hi @Timen, does setting the Model WarmUp on all composing models not helped? The ensemble model only passes inputs and outputs between composing models and does not do any real work.

The effort of setting up the model warmup for each individual part of a pipeline vs just one input to the ensemble is much greater. It just is surprising and not documented that ensembles don't support it.

@GuanLuo @nnshah1 do you want to file a ticket for adding warmup config into ensemble model config?

@kthui @GuanLuo @nnshah1 any updates on this, this is still a very welcome feature.
