lakeFS Acquires DVC, Uniting Data Version Control Pioneers to Accelerate AI-Ready Data
One of the major pain points in ML is the lack of transparency, consistency, and control over data assets. Without a centralized system, teams often struggle with fragmented datasets, unclear version histories, and poor documentation, which may lead to reproducibility failures, compliance risks, and wasted effort. A data registry solves this by offering a structured […]
TL;DR Software-only systems can be rerun from the source, but physics-bound workflows face a tougher challenge. Once a moment is gone, it’s gone. Sensor drift, hardware changes, and environmental uniqueness make it impossible to recreate the exact conditions. For audits, safety, and machine learning, you need full data provenance, including raw data, derived outputs, and
In this post, we explore how lakeFS can integrate with popular data labeling solutions, the differences between labeling tools’ built-in dataset management and lakeFS data version control, and why combining them is invaluable. We’ll also highlight use cases – from autonomous vehicles to healthcare – where rigorous data versioning alongside labeling is essential. Overview of
Historically, companies have developed their IT systems on an ad hoc basis, installing various software and taking on data management approaches as their needs changed. The resulting organization is diverse, with multiple tools and data that serve the same function. Data tends to be segregated and dispersed across teams and areas, with little to no
Vector databases are a critical enabler for expanding the use of LLMs. They power applications such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), pattern matching, anomaly detection, and recommendation systems by retrieving relevant data for your application. A vector database needs to carry out efficient similarity searches across vector embeddings of both unstructured and structured data. You
Data compliance is all about adhering to laws, regulations, standards, and internal policies regarding data use. Organizations must comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and SOC2 standards to protect sensitive information and maintain trust. Data compliance plays
Organizations deal with ever-increasing volumes of data. More data translates into more risk, as hackers have a larger target area. This is where data compliance comes in. It helps mitigate these threats and protect consumer data by setting compliance standards that companies and individuals must adhere to while working with data. How does data compliance
Yesterday, OpenAI launched gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, marking the company’s first open-weight models since GPT-2 in 2019. This strategic shift represents far more than a product release—it signals a fundamental transformation in how large organizations, particularly in regulated industries, approach AI infrastructure and data management. OpenAI’s Strategic Return to Open Source The gpt-oss models—gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—are
A behind-the-scenes look at the design decisions, architecture, and lessons learned while bringing the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog to lakeFS. When we first announced our native lakeFS Iceberg REST Catalog, we focused on what it means for data teams: seamless, Git-like version control for structured and unstructured data, at any scale. But how did we
Data integration is a vital first step in developing any AI application. This is where data virtualization comes in to help organizations accelerate application development and deployment. By virtualizing data, teams can unlock its full potential by providing real-time AI insights for applications like predictive maintenance, fraud detection, and demand forecasting. Virtualizing data centralizes and
Despite the increasing adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, most organizations are bound to see implementation challenges. One of the issues lies in the data itself. A recent survey showed 80% of companies believe their data is suitable for AI, but more than half are actually dealing with challenges like internal data quality and categorization
Modern machine learning pipelines involve a mix of tools for experiment tracking, data preparation, model registry, and more. MLflow, DataChain, Neptune, and Quilt are some MLOps tools serving these needs. However, one critical piece underpins them all: data version control. This is where lakeFS comes in. lakeFS is not an experiment tracker or ML platform;
