At Red Hat, we’ve always believed that the most complex challenges in technology are best solved through open collaboration. This week, as announced by the Linux Foundation, Red Hat has officially joined the OCUDU (Open Centralized Unit / Distributed Unit) Ecosystem Foundation as a general member.Launched under the stewardship of the Linux Foundation, OCUDU represents an important shift in how cellular networks are built. By creating a carrier-grade, open source software stack for 5G, 5G-Advanced, and 6G, the project aims to do for the Radio Access Network (RAN) what Linux did for the data c

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is increasingly relevant in today’s agentic AI ecosystem because it standardizes how AI agents access tools, data sources, and external systems. As agents move from passive chatbots to autonomous actors capable of planning and executing tasks, MCP provides a structured, interoperable interface layer that enables tool invocation with enhanced security, controlled access to external systems, and more consistent policy enforcement across heterogeneous environments.. In essence, MCP forms the connective tissue between LLM-driven reasoning and real-world system ex

At Red Hat Summit 2025, we introduced Ask Red Hat, a conversational AI designed to be an intelligent front door for our customers. It began as a rapid 12-week build to prove that open source AI could transform the support experience.Today, Ask Red Hat has evolved from a proof of concept into a sophisticated production reality. As of late 2025, it has served over 50,000 unique users and handled more than 450,000 messages. It is no longer just a standalone tool but a cross-product orchestration layer, integrated directly into docs.redhat.com and new support case creation in the Red Hat Customer

AMD EPYC Achieves Performance Leadership In New OCUDU Project For 5G/6G RAN Review  Phoronix

Announced this week at Mobile World Congress (MWC) by the Linux Foundation was the establishing of the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation for advancing open-source AI-RAN (Radio Access Network) innovations. OCUDU is building a reference platform and innovations around 5G and early 6G network solutions. With OCUDU being benchmark-friendly, I have been putting the early code through some performance tests on current AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon server platforms.
