While artificial intelligence was a major focus of Red Hat’s Linux announcements this morning, the just-released RHEL 10 operating system now also includes support for quantum-proof encryption and better containerization, among other improvements.
The shift to AI is the “next evolution of our platform,” Joe Fernandes, Red Hat’s vice president and general manager of the AI business unit, told reporters in advance of the Red Hat Summit in Boston. “Ultimately, AI models will run, together with applications, on Linux, managed by Kubernetes.”
This will require new AI capabilities, like support for inference servers, language models, tuning, and agentic AI tools, he says.
