As large model training scales up and GPU power increases, data access bottlenecks increasingly impact system performance. Local storage provides high performance but lacks scalability, while object storage offers cost efficiency and scalability but struggles with throughput under high concurrency. Distributed file systems like JuiceFS strike a balance between high performance and scalability. With its distributed architecture, JuiceFS has been widely adopted in AI scenarios. For example, in BioMap’s case, transitioning from SSDs to JuiceFS combined with object storage resulted in a 90% cost reduction in storage. Meanwhile, in another AI application, JuiceFS has achieved up to 70GB/s throughput. In this office hours session, we’ll cover how JuiceFS addresses AI needs from three perspectives: - Leveraging object storage for cost efficiency - Accelerating data access through data chunking and metadata separation - Optimizing performance with multi-level caching

We'll compare JuiceFS with major hyperscaler file storage and high-performance file storage offerings across AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI and also discuss common third-party approaches such as Alluxio and CephFS. The focus won't be on product marketing or deep feature lists, but on practical trade-offs around capabilities, total cost of ownership, operational complexity, reliability, and multi-cloud support. We'll also include a few lightweight lessons learned from "AI-adjacent" domains—spanning GenAI, agentic workflows, quant, autonomous driving, embodied intelligence, and biotech—to illustrate how different requirements shape storage decisions. Join us for the talk and a live Q&A—bring your workload, scale expectations, and priorities (performance vs. cost vs. operational simplicity).
