What is Tigris?

Tigris bends S3-compatible storage toward AI dataloaders and agents.

Tigris is positioning S3-compatible object storage specifically for AI workloads. The recent window mixes genuine product releases — a bulk-read bundle API, soft delete, prefix-filtered lifecycle rules — with engineering blog posts showcasing agent tooling built on top of Tigris.

What is Sanity?

Highest-cadence shipper in view, with agent tooling now a parallel track to the editor

Sanity is releasing across many surfaces at once — Studio, the React App SDK, the MCP server, ecosystem packages, and the Media Library. The standout pattern is a fast-iterating MCP server (multiple versions in this window) that makes the content platform operable by AI agents alongside the usual editor polish.

Tigris bends S3-compatible storage toward AI dataloaders and agents.

◆ Current state

Tigris is positioning S3-compatible object storage specifically for AI workloads. The recent window mixes genuine product releases — a bulk-read bundle API, soft delete, prefix-filtered lifecycle rules — with engineering blog posts showcasing agent tooling built on top of Tigris.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is to become the default storage substrate for AI agents and training pipelines: bundle reads for dataloaders, copy-on-write bucket forks for agent sandboxes, durable streams for reasoning traces, and a provider-agnostic SDK to pull users in from other clouds. Product and developer-marketing reinforce the same AI-storage thesis.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI-dataloader and agent-workflow primitives, plus continued SDK and ecosystem plays to broaden reach beyond raw S3 parity.

Highest-cadence shipper in view, with agent tooling now a parallel track to the editor

◆ Current state

Sanity is releasing across many surfaces at once — Studio, the React App SDK, the MCP server, ecosystem packages, and the Media Library. The standout pattern is a fast-iterating MCP server (multiple versions in this window) that makes the content platform operable by AI agents alongside the usual editor polish.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel: incremental hardening of the human editing experience (Studio search, content releases, media versioning) and rapid buildout of agent-facing tooling (MCP tools for patching, schema deploy, document creation, feedback). Sanity is positioning the same content backend to be driven by both people and agents.

◆ Prediction

Expect the MCP server to keep its rapid release cadence, widening the set of platform operations agents can perform, while Studio and SDK work continues as steady polish.
