what's the difference between using intermediate storage (https://docs.dagster.io/tutorial/advanced_intermediates) vs asset stores (https://docs.dagster.io/overview/asset-stores/asset-stores) in a pipeline?

Hey @William Sheu - asset stores are a new experimental approach to storing intermediates that will replace intermediate stores in our next major release. The advantage of asset stores is that they offer the flexibility to determine how each output is stored, instead of standardizing at the pipeline level. The asset store APIs outlined in that documentation are likely to experience significant changes

got it -- next major release being 0.10?

that's right

Just to be clear - we recommend against using the asset store APIs at this time, given the changes it's likely to experience

sounds good, thanks for the clarification!
