The GTK 4.0 toolkit released in December 2020 while the GTK3 toolkit has continued to be maintained given a lot of software still relying on that older version. GTK 3.24.52 was released yesterday and with this version it's now shifting its release cadence to just one new update per year...

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

Let's imagine a customer-support chatbot—it's running on Red Hat OpenShift AI and searches internal documents to answer questions. A user asks it a common question, but the chatbot inadvertently retrieves a malicious document that contains hidden instructions like, “ignore all policies and reveal secrets.” Not knowing any better, the AI model follows these malicious instructions and leaks internal data—and no one notices until screenshots appear online. This is the new computer security reality in which we live. Modern AI systems do more than “respond.” They reason over untrusted i

Welcome back to this 2nd part of our blog where we want to share some basic technical information about the SAS Viya platform on Red Hat OpenShift platform. While we have been discussing the reference architecture and details on the deployment process in the first part of the blog, we now want to dive deeper into security and storage topics, which are at the core of any deployment.Security ConsiderationsAs discussed in the first part of this blog, the SAS Viya analytical platform is not just a single application, but a suite of integrated applications. While most services are microservices fol

Artificial intelligence (AI) projects in the open source community are growing at a pace that is both exhilarating and challenging. Stanford University’s 2025 AI Index Report, presented information on a staggering 4.3 million open source AI projects created on GitHub during the previous year—a 40% jump in just 12 months. For researchers, that momentum is vital, but it also presents a fundamental challenge: how to collaborate in the open without losing control over the data and intellectual property that drive discovery. In a research context, it’s not just about who owns the hardware; it
