There is a chinese blogpost from 2019 about 3FS so it predates deepseek [1]. It will be interesting to see the benchmarks but I suspect without 3FS smallpond is not that useful (the bottleneck would move to the networked file system).
None of the big US clouds support Infiniband broadly (Azure & Oracle have some support) so 3FS itself is not very useful to US companies who want to use public clouds.
