    I’ve been in the MLOps space for ~10 years, and data is still the hardest unsolved open problem. Code is versioned using Git, data is stored somewhere else, and context often lives in a 3rd location like Slack or GDocs. This is why we built XetHub, a platform that enables teams to treat data like code, using Git. Unlike Git LFS, we don’t just store the files. We use content-defined chunking and Merkle Trees to dedupe against everything in history. This allows small changes in large files to be stored compactly. Read more here:…

    Hey HN! I built a proof-of-concept for AI memory using Git instead of vector databases. The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history? How it works: Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo Each conversation = one commit git diff shows how understanding evolves over time BM25 for search (no embeddings needed) LLMs generate search queries from conversation context Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual…

    Hi HN! We just launched a GitHub integration that scales your Git repos to handle 100 terabytes of files in a single repo. XetData enables data scientists and machine learning engineers to version code, models, and datasets together. Most teams have glued together clunky workflows using S3, DVC, Git, Git LFS, and other tools and make true reproducibility difficult: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37694701 We instead embrace and extend Git so end-users don’t need to learn a new tool and a new set of commands. Our implementation is similar to Git LFS, where we take over the…
