These questions are meant to be constructively critical, but not hyper-critical: I'm genuinely interested and a big fan of open-source projects in this space:
* In terms of a high-performance AI-focused S3 competitor, how does this compare to NVIDIA's AIstore? https://aistore.nvidia.com/
* What's the clustering story? Is it complex like ceph, requires K8s like AIstore for full functionality, or is it more flexible like Garage, Minio, etc?
* You spend a lot of time talking about performance; do you have any benchmarks?
* Obviously most of the page was written by ChatGPT: what percentage of the code was written by AI, and has it been reviewed by a human?
* How does the object storage itself work? How is it architected? Do you DHT, for example? What tradeoffs are there (CAP, for example) vs the 1.4 gazillion alternatives?
* Are there any front-end or admin tools (and screenshots)?
* Can a cluster scale horizontally or only vertically (ie Minio)
* Why not instead just fork a previous version of Minio and then put a high-speed metadata layer on top?
* Is there any telemetry?
* Although it doesn't matter as much for my use case as for others, what is the specific jurisdiction of origin?
* Is there a CLA and does that CLA involve assigning rights like copyright (helps prevent the 'rug-pull' closing-source scenario)?
* Is there a non-profit Foundation, goal for CNCF sponsorship or other trusted third-party to ensure that the software remains open source (although forks of prior versions mostly mitigates that concern)?
Thanks!
