What it does

Anvil is an open-source, AI-native object store designed for modern workloads. We built it after hitting the limits of Git LFS, Hugging Face repos, S3, and others when working with multi-GB model files. It is S3-compatible & gRPC-native, supports: * Model-aware indexing - so it understands safetensors, gguf, and ONNX. * Tensor-level streaming * Erasure-coded storage * Open source (Apache-2.0) If you’re storing large models, versioning fine-tunes, running local inference, we want your feedback.

Introducing Anvil — the AI-Native Object Store

Fast, self-hosted, S3-compatible storage designed for models, safetensors, gguf files, ONNX artifacts, and large ML datasets. GitHub: https://github.com/worka-ai/anvil Latest Release: https://github.com/worka-ai/anvil/releases/latest Docs: https://worka.ai/docs/anvil/getting-started Landing Page: https://worka.ai/anvil We didn’t set out to build a new object store. We set out to build our app — and everything broke in predictable, painful ways. There was no storage layer designed for AI workloads — only general-purpose object stores that weren’t aware of model formats or inference patterns. Anvil is a self-hosted, S3-compatible, open-source object store designed for AI-native workloads. It…from worka.ai

    Hi HN, We're Luke and Phillip, and we're building Spice.ai OSS - a lightweight, portable runtime, built in Rust and powered by Apache DataFusion to locally materialize, accelerate, and query data tables sourced from any database, data warehouse or data lake. Phillip and I first introduced Spice on Show HN in September 2021. Since then, we’ve been schooled and humbled in every way building 100TB+ data and ML systems for the https://spice.ai cloud platform. Along with our customers, we struggled with getting fast, low-latency, high-concurrency SQL query within a budget, accessing and…

  • CallFS – S3-style object store in one Go binary (MIT)2025 · github.com · ▲66

    We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

    Objectiv – Open-source product analytics infrastructure2022 · objectiv.io · ▲88

    Hi! One of the creators here. Very proud to finally be able to show you what we've been working on for over a year now. Curious to hear your thoughts! Objectiv is open-source (APLv2) product analytics infrastructure. It's built around a generic but strict event taxonomy, open/common data- and infra tools (currently PG, snowplow, working on bigquery with more to come), and the analyses are done using our pandas-like, SQL speaking modeling library called Bach. As a result, we’re moving towards a vision wherein models can be shared openly, independent of product, platform[1] or data…
