The open-source Radeon "R300g" driver living within the Mesa codebase for supporting the aging ATI (AMD) Radeon 9500 "R300" through Radeon X1000 "R500" series graphics processors is going through a big code restructuring as part of a big undertaking in 2026... Yes, 24 years after the ATI R300 GPUs first released, thanks to a devoted open-source developer fan, there is a significant improvement in the works...

If you watched the day one keynote at Red Hat Summit 2026, you heard me talk about critical inflection points that have defined the IT industry. Linux and Kubernetes formed two big waves in recent memory, and AI is undeniably causing another shift. Each of these events was disruptive, but the seismic impact of AI continues to resonate as we face a widening gap between environmental complexity and the flat resources available to manage it. Many of us are being asked to launch new ambitious AI initiatives while simultaneously maintaining the legacy systems the business depends on. To bridge this

The age of generative AI brings great opportunity and new risks. As large organizations adopt agentic AI and face increasingly strict digital sovereignty requirements, the underlying infrastructure must provide integrity, isolation, and identity management to protect sensitive data, workloads, and end users. Protecting organizational reputation, maintaining and building trust in the software we interact with every day is not just a secondary requirement, but the fundamental mission.Imagine a regional public utility responsible for keeping the lights on for millions of homes, schools, and hosp

Artificial intelligence (AI) workloads are transforming industries from financial services to healthcare. However, the use of AI models introduces risk around protecting models, weights, and data from malicious actors. While the industry has established robust traditional security frameworks to protect data at rest (with disk encryption, such as LUKS) and data in transit (with encrypted communication channels like TLS), a gap remains around data that's in use.When sensitive data, such as patient medical records or proprietary AI model weights are actively loaded into the CPU, GPU, and memory f

You've tried it. You've pulled a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from a GitHub repo, wrestled it into a container, sorted out authentication yourself, and hoped it would hold up in production. That is the state of MCP adoption in the enterprise today—promising protocol, but painful deployment.Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4, part of the Red Hat AI portfolio, takes a different approach. We're introducing the MCP catalog (now in developer preview): a curated catalog of MCP servers that you can discover, deploy, and manage directly on Red Hat OpenShift. It ships pre-loaded with MCP servers from Re

As enterprises move from the hype of generative AI to building governed, production-ready AI applications, several new challenges have emerged. Currently, many businesses route all of their prompts to massive, cloud-based LLMs, which can result in excessive costs, high latency, and unnecessary data exposure. To solve this problem, Red Hat in collaboration with NVIDIA is bringing enterprise-grade AI development directly to the developer’s desk. We are excited to announce the development preview of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL 10) on NVIDIA DGX Spark. Powered by the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blac
