Deep Lake: a Lakehouse for Deep Learning
Traditional data lakes provide critical data infrastructure for analytical workloads by enabling time travel, running SQL queries, ingesting data with ACID transactions, and visualizing petabyte-scale datasets on cloud storage. They allow organizations to break down data silos, unlock data-driven decision-making, improve operational efficiency, and reduce costs. However, as deep learning usage increases, traditional data lakes are not well-designed for applications such as natural language processing (NLP), audio processing, computer vision, and applications involving non-tabular datasets. This paper presents Deep Lake, an open-source lakehouse for deep learning applications developed at Activeloop. Deep Lake maintains the benefits of a vanilla data lake with one key difference: it stores complex data, such as images, videos, annotations, as well as tabular data, in the form of tensors and rapidly streams the data over the network to (a) Tensor Query Language, (b) in-browser visualization engine, or (c) deep learning frameworks without sacrificing GPU utilization. Datasets stored in Deep Lake can be accessed from PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, and integrate with numerous MLOps tools.

GitLake: Git-for-data for the agentic lakehouse
We present GitLake, a Git-for-data design for an agent-first lakehouse. The system lifts single-table Iceberg snapshots into lakehouse-wide commits, branches, and merges, letting agents work on isolated branches while hu…
Safe, Untrusted, "Proof-Carrying" AI Agents: toward the agentic lakehouse
Data lakehouses run sensitive workloads, where AI-driven automation raises concerns about trust, correctness, and governance. We argue that API-first, programmable lakehouses provide the right abstractions for safe-by-de…
"Skill Issues'': Data-Centric Optimization of Lakehouse Agents
Coding agents are becoming users of data infrastructure, but their success depends not only on model quality: it also depends on the skills and environment files that teach agents how to use a system. We study how to opt…
Trustworthy AI in the Agentic Lakehouse: from Concurrency to Governance
Even as AI capabilities improve, most enterprises do not consider agents trustworthy enough to work on production data. In this paper, we argue that the path to trustworthy agentic workflows begins with solving the infra…
Building a Correct-by-Design Lakehouse. Data Contracts, Versioning, and Transactional Pipelines for Humans and Agents
Lakehouses are now the default substrate for analytics and AI, but they remain fragile under concurrent, untrusted change: schema mismatches often surface only at runtime, development and production easily diverge, and m…
