Red Hat has contributed llm-d, an open-source project for running LLMs across K

Moving to the edge isn't just a trend; it’s a response to the need for faster results. By processing data right where it’s created, organizations are finding they can finally unlock real-time decision-making and make their operations significantly more efficient.Whether it’s a factory floor, a wind turbine, or a retail backroom, the edge is where the most impactful business data is being generated. Most operational leaders already recognize that moving processing power closer to that data is the key to transforming how they work. The real challenge, however, isn’t just getting there—

In our first 3 articles, we framed AI security as protecting the system, not just the model, across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and we showed why the traditional secure development lifecycle (SDLC) discipline still applies to modern AI deployments. We also focused on guardrails and different architectural approaches such as dual LLMs and CaMeL to help protect against prompt injection and unsafe actions.This article completes the defense strategy by focusing on the backbone that makes guardrails enforceable in production—identity, authentication, authorization, and zero trus

In product security, AI represents a new and critical frontier. As artificial intelligence becomes mainstream in both defense tools and exploitation methods, security professionals must master these technologies to more effectively protect and enhance their systems.What is AI in cyber security?AI in cyber security is the application of advanced technologies like machine learning and automated reasoning to detect, prevent, and respond to digital threats at a scale and speed that exceeds human capabilities.AI systems are able to perform a growing variety of tasks, such as pattern recognition, le

As a few months have passed since our prior round of testing the fully open-source NVIDIA Linux driver stack with the Nouveau kernel driver and Mesa NVK Vulkan driver plus Zink, here is a fresh round of benchmarks using Linux 7.0 and Mesa 26.1-dev compared to the open-source stack shipped by Ubuntu 25.10 (Linux 6.17 + Mesa 25.2) for showing how far the open-source NVIDIA driver has progressed the past few months. Plus testing against the NVIDIA official Linux graphics driver for putting that Nouveau/NVK performance into perspective.
