As a MinIO Curriculum Engineer, I spend a lot of time creating demos and learning environments for customers. These environments need to be realistic, comprehensive, and ready to showcase MinIO AIStor's capabilities in real-world scenarios. But here's the thing - setting up a proper demo environment manually can take hours of low-value, repetitive work. Let me

1. Executive Summary Our customer, a global telecommunications leader, established a Data Platform team to transform how data improved customer experiences and business operations. Faced with ballooning data growth and legacy storage constraints, they replaced aging legacy data storage systems with a high-performance, cloud-native data lakehouse, built on MinIO’s AIStor. The result: a scalable, cost-efficient foundation ready for AI,

In data engineering, open standards are foundational for building interoperable, evolvable, and non-proprietary systems. Apache Iceberg, an open table format, is a prime example. Along with compute, Iceberg brings structure and reliability to data lakes. When coupled with high-performance object storage like MinIO AIStor, Iceberg unlocks new avenues for creating next-generation, high-performance, cost-effective, and scalable architectures. However, this powerful table

In the previous blog posts of this series, we discussed the user-level and admin-level functions of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MinIO AIStor. In the first blog, we learned how to review the bucket’s contents, analyze objects, and tag them for future processing. In the second blog, we also learned how to use admin commands and get

In the previous blog of this series, we discussed the basic user-level functions of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for MinIO AIStor. We learned how to review a bucket’s contents, analyze objects, and tag them for future processing using human-language commands and simply chatting with the cluster via an LLM such as Anthropic Claude. In this blog, we’

GenAI is entering the agentic phase, with software agents collaborating with humans and other agents to reason and achieve complex goals. Agents are already demonstrating incredible intelligence and are very helpful with question answering, but as with humans, they need the ability to discover and access software applications and other services to actually perform useful work. The creators of such

Tl;dr: We train a small LLM to become good at reasoning with reinforcement learning (similar to the process that led to Deepseek R1) all against AIStor AIHub, an on-premises model repository. Based on the great GRPO demo by will brown. Motivation: A growing requirement for teams is the need for an organized, secure, "single source of truth"
