The team at Insight Partners just released their State of Enterprise Tech report for 2024. There is a lot to consume in the 60+ slides, but we cherry picked the things that should be interesting to our audience - and frankly there is a lot of interesting stuff. I will leave the survey methodology stuff for you to consume, but

An embedding subsystem is one of four subsystems needed to implement Retrieval Augmented Generation. It turns your custom corpus into a database of vectors that can be searched for semantic meaning. The other subsystems are the data pipeline for creating your custom corpus, the retriever for querying the vector database to add more context to a user query, and finally,

One of the reasons that MinIO is so performant is that we do the granular work that others will not or cannot. From SIMD acceleration to the AVX-512 optimizations we have done the hard stuff. Recent developments for the ARM CPU architecture, in particular Scalable Vector Extensions (SVE), presented us with the opportunity to deliver significant performance and efficiency gains

With all the talk in the industry today regarding large language models with their encoders, decoders, multi-headed attention layers, and billions (soon trillions) of parameters, it is tempting to believe that good AI is the result of model design only. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Good AI requires more than a well-designed model. It also requires properly constructed training

MLOps, short for Machine Learning Operations, is a set of practices and tools aimed at addressing the specific needs of engineers building models and moving them into production. Some organizations start off with a few homegrown tools that version datasets after each experiment and checkpoint models after every epoch of training. On the other hand, many organizations have chosen to

tl;dr: In this post, we will explore four technical reasons why AI workloads rely on high performance object store. 1. No Limits on Unstructured Data In the current paradigm of machine learning, performance and ability scales with compute, which is really a proxy for dataset size and model size (Scaling Laws for Neural Language Models, Kaplan et. al.). Over

This post first appeared on The New Stack on June 3rd, 2024. I previously wrote about the modern data lake reference architecture, addressing the challenges in every enterprise — more data, aging Hadoop tooling (specifically HDFS) and greater demands for RESTful APIs (S3) and performance — but I want to fill in some gaps. The modern data lake, sometimes referred to as

Do you know the secret to some of the best AI models out there? It's the amount of data they had access to on which they could be trained on. For AI/ML models Fast accessible Data is King. Let me emphasize, it's not just Data, but fast accessible Data.

In my previous post on MLRun, we set up a development machine with all the tools needed to experiment with MLRun. Specifically, we used a docker-compose file to create containers for the MLRun UI, the MLRun API Service, Nuclio, MinIO, and a Jupyter service. Once our containers started, we ran a simple smoke test to ensure everything was working correctly.

MinIO’s co-founder and CEO AB Periasamy was recently featured on the AI in Business Podcast where he had a rich conversation with Matthew DeMello—Senior Editor at Emerj—about AI infrastructure and object storage for enterprises. In this blog post, we take you through an abridged version of what was discussed. Let’s get into it. AB and Matthew

MLOps is to machine learning what DevOps is to traditional software development. Both are a set of practices and principles aimed at improving collaboration between engineering teams (the Dev or ML) and IT operations (Ops) teams. The goal is to streamline the development lifecycle, from planning and development to deployment and operations, using automation. One of the primary benefits of

When a MinIO Modern Datalake deployment is extended by adding a new server pool, by default it does not rebalance objects. Lets dive deep and learn how to rebalance smoothly without affecting cluster operations.
