About the project

3FS is a distributed file system from DeepSeek for AI training and inference workloads, using SSDs and RDMA networks as a shared storage layer.

Useful for
  • Deploy a shared storage layer for an LLM training cluster
  • Speed up dataset and checkpoint loading in distributed training
  • Use as KVCache for inference instead of DRAM

2.6 Breakout Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 22, 2026, 11:38 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

02040July 25, 2026October 22, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 10:42–11:29: 10347 → 10348 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +7 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending C++ today: #7, +17 stars.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @zhuzilin (2,230 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 64. +220% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
