F3: The Open-Source Data File Format for the Future

Summary: F3: a self‑describing columnar format that embeds metadata and portable WebAssembly decoders in each file for platform‑agnostic, forward‑compatible decoding. Offers an extensible storage layout and API for adding encodings, avoiding repeated format rewrites; evaluated against Parquet/ORC with low Wasm overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 11 2026)
