The agent problem at scaleAutonomous agents are powerful because they act. But when instructions are ambiguous, when tools don't behave as expected, or when a complex task takes an unexpected turn, the agent makes judgment calls.

RHEL for NVIDIA delivers trusted foundation for next-gen AI workloads

Red Hat

New NVIDIA GPUs typically arrive before a standard enterprise Linux release can carry every driver, kernel change, and virtualization patch those systems need. The usual result is a bad choice: wait, or stand the first cluster up on an operating system the team does not intend to keep.

Designing for sovereign AI: A shared foundation from edge to cloud

Azure

A flexible sovereign architecture allows organizations to place each workload in the right environment, apply the controls it requires, and maintain consistency.

Uncover the business logic vulnerabilities SAST scanners miss

GitLab

Broken object-level authorization ranks first on the OWASP API Security Top 10, and OWASP says that traditional static application security testing (SAST) tools struggle to find access control flaws.
