I share the same feeling, I think filesystems will have to reinvent themselves given the pace of how useful ML models became in the past years.

I built a local object store that was designed to replace file systems. You can create hundreds of millions of objects (e.g. files) and attach a variety of metadata tags to each one. A tag could be a number, string, or other data type (including vector info). Searches for objects with certain tags is exceptionally fast.

I invented it because I found searching conventional file systems that support extended attributes to be unbearably slow.
