Why we’re contributing llm-d to the CNCF: Standardizing the future of AI

Red Hat News - Tue, 03/24/2026 - 08:00
Today, we are contributing llm-d to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Sandbox project.This isn't just a hand-off of code. It’s a commitment to making high-performance AI serving a core, portable capability of the cloud-native stack. When we launched llm-d in May 2025, we set out to solve the massive capabilities gap between AI experimentation and mission-critical production inference at scale. By moving llm-d into the CNCF, we’re expanding the target of a multi-vendor coalition—including CoreWeave, IBM, Google, and NVIDIA—to build the open standard for distributed infer

What does “AI security” mean and why does it matter to your business?

Red Hat News - Tue, 03/24/2026 - 08:00
Let's imagine a customer-support chatbot—it's running on Red Hat OpenShift AI and searches internal documents to answer questions.

This is the new computer security reality in which we live. Modern AI systems do more than “respond.” They reason over untrusted i
