Naming the product “AIStor” is one of the most blatant forced AI branding pivots I’ve seen.

for maximum performance with MinIO AIStor, make sure to use one of Seagate's "AI hard drives":

And the naming conflicts with NVidia's AIStore (https://github.com/NVIDIA/aistore). The two products are extremely similar. I don't know which came first, but Minio is going to want to do another pivot very soon if they want to survive. I doubt they have the resources to stand up to NVidia's army of extremely well-paid IP lawyers.

Raising 100 mil at 1 B valuation and then trying for an exit is a bitch!
