- binsquare 11mo agoI still don't understand what the difference is. What is an AI Stor (e missing on purpose because that is how it is branded: https://www.min.io/product/aistor https://www.min.io/product/aistor)
- bigbuppo 11mo agoAbout a billion dollars difference in valuation up until the bubble pops.
- everfrustrated 11mo agoMight be because of this other storage product named that https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore
- singhrac 11mo agoDoes anyone use this? I was setting it up a few months ago but it felt very complicated compared to MinIO (or alternatives). Is there a sort of minikube-like tool I could use here?
- 56kbr 11mo agoThere's a development/playground deployment for local K8s (e.g. Minikube, KinD): https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore/tree/main/deploy/dev/k8s https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore/tree/main/deploy/dev/k8s. For production you'd need a proper cluster deployed via Helm, but for trying it out locally that setup is easy to get running.
- paulddraper 11mo agoIt can store things for AI workloads (and non-AI workloads, but who’s counting…)
- ljm 11mo agoLooks like AI slop Replication A trusted identity provider is a key component to single sign on. Uh, what? It’s probably just Minio but it costs more money.
- smsm42 11mo agoWell, you can not have a product without having "AI" somewhere in the name anymore. It's the law.

- btian 11mo agoWhat's the problem? Surely people will fork it
- nikeee 11mo agoDidn't contribute to MinIO, but if they accepted external contributions without making them sign a CLA, they cannot change the license without asking every external contributor for consent to the license change. As it is AGPL, they still have to provide the source code somewhere. IANAL, of course
- lima 11mo agoThey required a "Community Contribution License" in each PR description, which licensed each contribution under Apache 2 as an inbound license. Meanwhile, MinIO's own contributions and the distribution itself (outbound license) were AGPL licensed. It's effectively a CLA, just a bit weaker, since they're still bound by the terms of Apache 2 vs. a full license assignment like most CLAs.
- NewsaHackO 11mo agoPeople underestimate the amount of fakeness a lot of these "open-core/source" orgs have. I guarantee from day one of starting the MinIO project, they had eyes on future commercialization, and of course made contributors sign away their rights knowing full well they are going to go closed source.

- daveguy 11mo agoThis is why I don't bother with AGPL released by a company (use or contribute). Choosing AGPL with contributors giving up rights is a huge red flag for "hey, we are going to rug pull". Just AGPL by companies without even allowing contributor rights is saying, "hey, we are going to attempt to squeeze profit out and don't want competition on our SaaS offering." I wish companies would stop trying to get free code out of the open source community. There have been so many rug pulls it should be expected now.
