Conditions for a Static Batch in Continuous Batching
A key feature of continuous batching is the dynamic adjustment of the active batch between processing steps. However, in some situations, the scheduler will proceed with an unchanged batch. Identify the two distinct conditions regarding the state of the system that must both be met for this to occur.

An inference engine is processing a batch of several text generation requests. After completing one computational step, the system's scheduler evaluates the situation. It determines that none of the requests in the current batch have completed their generation, and the queue of new, incoming requests is empty. Based on this state, what is the most logical and efficient action for the scheduler to take for the very next step?
In a continuous batching system for a large language model, if the request queue is empty, the active batch of requests being processed will always remain unchanged in the next iteration.
