Researchers have introduced Lakestream, a new data plane designed for large foundation model training that operates directly on object stores without a broker. It offers transactional global batches with ACID semantics extended for training consistency, including atomic visibility and exactly-once recovery. Evaluations show Lakestream surpasses colocated dataloader throughput and Apache Kafka in ingestion speed and consumer latency. AI
