Red Hat News - Fri, 03/27/2026 - 08:00
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

Open-Source Nouveau Performance With Linux 7.0 + NVK Mesa 26.1-dev vs. NVIDIA Linux Driver

Phoronix - Fri, 03/27/2026 - 00:00
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.
