MinIO Inc. has released a version of its cloud storage service, AIStor, designed to support all types of artificial intelligence training data in one infrastructure.
The new service includes an S3 application program interface called promptObject that allows users to manage unstructured objects like they converse with a large language model.
A private API compatible with Hugging Face Inc.'s repository of open-source AI models enables organizations to create their own data and model repositories on a private cloud or in air-gapped environments without code changes.
MinIO's survey found that over half of respondents plan to build a data lakehouse on an object storage foundation within the next 12 months, and 41% already use or plan to use object stores to support AI workloads.
