š BTFS vs. Filecoin & Arweave ā The Clear Advantage for AI-Driven Storage
Decentralized storage has matured over the years, but AI has completely changed what āscalableā and āusableā storage really means.
And the truth is simple: not every storage network can keep up with the pace, volume, and flexibility modern AI requires.
Thatās exactly where BTFS steps ahead.
Why Traditional Decentralized Storage Falls Short
Filecoin still depends on deal-based contracts ā every dataset needs its own negotiation for price and duration.
This slows down active AI pipelines, introduces unpredictable costs, and limits real-time scaling.
Even today, a large portion of Filecoinās total capacity is sitting idle, showing how underutilized the network really is.
Arweave, meanwhile, is engineered for permanence.
Itās perfect for archives, public data, and records that never change.
But AI doesnāt operate on āstatic.ā
Models constantly refresh, retrain, and rebuild ā and that requires storage that adjusts as fast as the data moves.
ā” BTFS: Optimized for AI, Built for Speed
This is where BTFS stands out from the crowd.
It isnāt just ādecentralized storageā ā itās storage designed for real-time, high-volume AI workflows:
š¹ P2P-powered speed
Data is distributed across millions of BitTorrent-powered nodes, enabling faster access and parallel transfer capabilities.
š¹ Instant dataset updates
AI models donāt wait. BTFS can sync dataset changes across the network immediately ā perfect for iterative training cycles.
š¹ AI pipeline-ready
Massive files, frequent retraining, continuous data movement ā BTFS handles the load without bottlenecks.
