Red Hat News

Think about some of the past trends in technology, and you’ll start to see some patterns emerge. For example, with cloud computing there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Combinations of different approaches, such as on premise and different cloud providers, have led to organizations taking advantage of hybrid infrastructure benefits in deploying their enterprise applications. When we think about the future, a similar structure will be essential for the consumption of artificial intelligence (AI) across diverse applications and business environments. Flexibility will be crucial as no single

FAQ: Red Hat to acquire Neural MagicWhat is being announced?On Nov. 12, 2024, Red Hat announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Neural Magic, subject to regulatory reviews and other customary closing conditions.What is Neural Magic?Neural Magic is a Somerville, Massachusetts-based early stage company developing technology that helps organizations optimize AI models for greater performance and efficiency.

Picture this: you have a powerful language model in production, but it struggles to provide satisfying answers for specific, niche questions. You try retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and carefully crafted prompt engineering, but the responses still need to be revised. The next step might seem to be full model fine tuning—updating every layer of the model to handle your specialized cases—but that demands significant time and compute resources.What is LoRA?Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is a faster and less resource-intensive fine tuning technique that can shape how a large language model re

TrustyAI is an open source community dedicated to providing a diverse toolkit for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) development and deployment. TrustyAI was founded in 2019 as part of Kogito, an open source business automation community, as a response to growing demand from users in highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. With increasing global regulation of AI technologies, toolkits for responsible AI are an invaluable and necessary asset to any MLOps platform. Since 2021, TrustyAI has been independent of Kogito, and has grown in size and scope amidst the

The AI landscape is evolving at an electrifying pace. Just as with any technological leap, the question arises: what path will best shape its future? Red Hat believes the answer is clear:The future of AI is open source.This isn’t just a philosophical stance; it’s an approach focused on unlocking the true value of AI and making it something far more accessible, far more democratized and far more powerful.We have always believed in the power of open source development in driving innovation. We’ve seen this play out in the rise of Linux, KVM, OpenStack, Kubernetes and many other projects th

As the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing grows, so does the power consumption of data centers. Data centers are the backbone of the modern digital economy, but they are also some of the biggest contributors to global energy usage. With the generative AI (gen AI) explosion and the increased demand for AI workloads and power, there has also been an uptick in technology’s carbon footprint.This presents a critical challenge: how can data centers manage their energy consumption without sacrificing the performance needed to support their AI applications? The new Climatik

Virtualization has long been the backbone of IT infrastructure that, at its core, is an exercise in modernisation, efficiency and value. When paired with a hybrid cloud strategy, which sees workloads live on-premise, in the cloud, and in edge environments, it transformed how enterprises manage IT resources. It helps enterprises innovate faster and adapt to increasingly complex IT ecosystems.Right now, we are seeing the virtualization landscape change rapidly, driven by new dynamics and vendor acquisitions. With this, enterprises are experiencing challenges like rising costs and struggling to r

The digital transformation opportunity has never been greater, especially with cloud now being generally embraced as an enabler. The generative AI (gen AI) boom has further sharpened the focus on modernisation as enterprises assess how they can take advantage. They want a cloud environment that offers choice, flexibility and independence to more safely experiment with, and adopt, new technologies.We set out to discover how organisations are approaching their cloud strategy into 2025, their appetite for AI, and the barriers to adoption of emerging innovations. A survey of 609 enterprise IT mana

Red Hat works closely with customers to provide the AI tools they need to build, deploy, monitor and use AI models and applications, but how do we utilize the power of AI for ourselves? Our Experience Engineering (XE) team is on it. The XE team collaborates with experts across Red Hat to deliver AI solutions to help our customers solve in-the-moment challenges via the Red Hat Customer Portal as we speak.Troubleshooting recommendationsTroubleshooting recommendations are powered by a text-embedding AI model developed in collaboration with IBM Research, fine-tuned for re-ranking purposes.

Every year I look forward to Red Hat Summit as a moment to collaborate, innovate and gain inspiration from our partner ecosystem. Now more than ever, I am convinced that this is the age of the ecosystem. The industry is booming with emerging technologies, which are influencing organizations to rethink the ways in which they operate, optimize and scale their business. For many, this means reconciling existing systems and infrastructure with new solutions. Long gone are the days of a single datacenter and single cloud strategy.At the center of today’s IT landscape is the opportunity of artific

Between new business demands and general complexities of the modern organization, a big challenge that you’re likely facing is the need for application and infrastructure modernization.How do you balance the old and the new? VMs are a crucial part of IT environments, but containers and cloud computing have become the new norm. And what is the best and most efficient way to modernize and migrate? Answering this question becomes more difficult when you’re looking across multiple platforms and environments.To help simplify this, Red Hat AWS have partnered to help our customers take advantage

Being a cluster administrator can come with its own challenges, especially with environments that carry out-of-tree (OOT) cluster modules. Upgrading device plug-ins or different kernel versions can be prone to errors when doing so one-by-one. This is where the Kernel Module Management Operator (KMM) comes in, allowing admins to build, sign, and deploy multiple kernel versions for any kernel module.KMM is designed to accommodate multiple kernel versions at once for any kernel module. Using this operator can also leverage the hardware acceleration capabilities of Intel Center GPU Flex, allowing
