Forging the open path: How Red Hat engineering is adopting AI and what it means for open source

Red Hat News - Wed, 11/19/2025 - 08:00
Over the past several months, Red Hat has been diving into one of the most significant shifts in our industry: the practical, large-scale adoption of generative AI (gen AI) within a major engineering organization. We are not unique in this journey, but at Red Hat, "in the open" isn't just a development model—it's our culture. We believe it's important to share what we're doing, what we're learning, and how we see this shaping the future of open source collaboration.To be clear, this isn't a publicity piece about a single, perfect tool or an instant success. It's a story about culture, choice

AMD ROCm 7.1 vs. RADV Vulkan For Llama.cpp With The Radeon AI PRO R9700

Phoronix - Tue, 11/18/2025 - 23:45
In the past we have seen Llama.cpp with Vulkan outperforming AMD's ROCm compute stack in some of the large language model (LLM) AI benchmarks. Curious if anything has changed given the recent ROCm 7.1 release, I ran some benchmarks of an up-to-date Llama.cpp using the AMD ROCm back-end compared to the Vulkan back-end with the latest RADV driver. For this round of testing the Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics card was used.
