RedNote Accelerates Model Training & Distribution with Alluxio

Dyna Robotics, a cutting-edge robotics company, improved its foundation model training performance by deploying Alluxio as a distributed caching and data access layer.

RedNote’s AI story: 41% training time reduction, 10x faster model download speed, and 80% model distribution cost savings. See how Alluxio made this happen.

Challenge

Deploying AI models often triggers cold starts—where models must be downloaded from remote object storage before they can serve inference. This results in frustrating delays, especially when scaling across many nodes or deploying large models.

Slow Model Distribution

serve and replicate large model across multiple clouds

Slow Inference Cold Starts

increase response time and degrade user experience

Redundant and Inefficient Data Path

adds unnecessary operational overhead

Rising Data Transfer and Storage Costs

from inefficient data migration between storage and compute.

Your models are getting bigger.

Your pipelines don't have to get slower.

Solution: Alluxio as a Distributed Caching Layer

Alluxio AI acts as a high-performance caching layer that stores model binaries, weights, and dependencies closer to compute. Whether you're spinning up new inference nodes, deploying across regions, or managing multiple models, Alluxio AI ensures models are always ready to run.

No More Cold Starts

6-12x improvement in LLM cold start performance with freedom from cloud vendor lock-in

Accelerate Model Distribution

Gain up to 10x faster model download speeds and 80%+ faster model deployment times with operational simplicities

Optimize Cloud Spend

Slash cloud costs and avoid redundant transfers with a software-only solution that utilizes your existing data lake storage

Why Alluxio for AI

Unlike legacy distributed file systems or general-purpose storage solutions, Alluxio is:

Caching, Not Storage

Don't replace your storage - simply add an intelligent acceleration layer

AI Native

Purpose-built for the performance patterns of modern AI workloads

Cloud and Storage Agnostic

Alluxio works across clouds, storage systems, and frameworks - hybrid and multi-cloud ready

Transparent & Developer Friendly

No code or workflow changes required, with built in support for S3 API, POSIX, and Python

Not another Lustre, Ceph, or Weka.

Alluxio AI brings caching to the core of your existing AI data pipelines.
