Ugur Tigli, CTO of MinIO on WebAssembly Unleashed: Why WebAssembly Belongs in AI Data Infrastructure

Ugur Tigli, CTO of MinIO, joined WebAssembly Unleashed to break down how modern AI workloads stress storage in very different ways, from throughput-heavy training and RAG pipelines to latency-sensitive inference. Ugur explains why keeping GPUs fed is now an economic necessity, how MinIO optimizes for saturating networks, and how techniques like erasure coding and SIMD offload help keep CPU and memory overhead low across diverse hardware targets. MinIO is the only pure-play exascale object store for AI data. MinIO is used by more than half of the Fortune 500 to achieve performance at scale at a fraction of the cost compared to the public cloud providers. MinIO AIStor caters to enterprise on-premises environments, delivering unmatched performance, scale, and economics for data-intensive workloads such as analytics, data lakehouses, and AI, empowering organizations to fully capitalize on existing AI investments and address emerging infrastructure challenges while delivering continuous business value.
