Cold Reset Recovery Coming Together To Better Help Intel GPUs On Linux  Phoronix

An agent charged $4,000 to the wrong customer billing account. Nobody noticed until Monday. The agent wasn't broken—it was working exactly as designed. It had broad API credentials, the model picked a plausible but wrong account identifier, and nothing in the infrastructure stopped the call from going through. No identity boundary. No scope limit. No audit trail.I've seen teams react to failures like this by adding more checks inside the agent code—if-else blocks, hardcoded allowlists, manual credential rotation. That approach doesn't scale. When 3 failures hit a single AI agent deployment

The arrival of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer, often referred to as Q-day, is moving from a distant theoretical mathematical challenge to an urgent timeline that security teams must plan for today. Bad actors are already engaging in harvest now, decrypt later activities. This means they are capturing and storing encrypted enterprise traffic, intellectual property, and data logs today with the intention of running them through quantum hardware as soon as it becomes available.At Red Hat, we believe taking this threat seriously means acting before the crisis arrives. Rather than vi

If you read the first part of this article, you already know that physical AI isn't just another wave of automation. You saw how intelligent systems are solving real problems in operations, security, and maintenance in ways that traditional robotics simply can't. And you were introduced to the loop that makes it all work: perceive, reason, act.In this second part, we go deeper. We look at why AI is such a transformative ingredient for robotics specifically, why edge computing isn't an optional add-on but a hard requirement, and how Red Hat helps organizations build the open, enterprise-grade f

In our previous post, we talked about the API key lifecycle in MaaS. In this article, we'll set up the governance layer those keys bind to, focusing on 2 core controls: managing token quotas (via MaaSSubscription) and defining model access rules (via MaaSAuthPolicy).Models-as-a-Service (MaaS), an integrated component of Red Hat Openshift AI, aims to give enterprises a flexible GitOps friendly way to set up their policy framework.Both attach to models through a MaaSModelRef:MaaSSubscription defines how much a user can consume in a given time window.MaaSAuthPolicy defines which models a user is
