How many times have you had to start running a program on your terminal, and then… you’re just stuck there? Suddenly, you can’t close out your terminal or multi-task.Well, no more–kind of!With the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) AI 1.4, Red Hat is introducing background process management for developer preview. This feature enables you to run the synthetic data generation (SDG) process in the background by allowing you to detach it from the terminal, spin off child processes to remain running in the background, monitor the status, reattach the process to bring it back and te

Large language models (LLMs) are evolving rapidly enabling applications such as chatbots, code generation, and knowledge extraction. One crucial factor influencing their effectiveness is the context length - the number of tokens a model can look at once. While theoretical context lengths continue to grow, the practical, effective context length (ECL) determines real-world usability.In this blog post, we will explore the ECL of the Granite-3.1-8b instruct model and validate its capabilities across various tasks. The study takes its inspiration from the paper "Measuring Effective Context Length
