Red Hat Official ☛ Unlocking the Effective Context Length: Benchmarking the Granite-3.1-8b Model [Ed: Red Hat is shamelessly promoting Large language models (LLMs), which are harmful for many reasons; Red Hat quit pursing genuine technical excellence and is instead promoting slop and misinformation]
Large language models (LLMs) are evolving rapidly enabling applications such as chatbots, code generation, and knowledge extraction.

While theoretical context lengths continue to grow, the practical, effective context length (ECL) determines real-world usability.

Red Hat ☛ How RHOCP 4.17 enhances control plane resilience
Now Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 has a new non-standard control plane high availability option that is enabled by new etcd capabilities and API server optimizations. The standard (prior to 4.17) control plane high availability requires two of three control plane nodes to maintain etcd quorum, which is still an option in 4.17. However, what’s new is the option to deploy four or five control plane nodes to enhance resiliency. This option is only for bare metal environments.
This article explains the new feature in OpenShift Container Platform 4.17 that allows a cluster to utilize four or five control nodes to enhance control plane resilience.

Reports have claimed employees were told they must relocate to be nearer to the company’s North Carolina or New York offices in order to comply with the new office-working mandate.
Workers who prefer not to do so will need to leave the company, but they will be able to do so with a severance package worth up to six months, depending on how long they’ve been with IBM.
