Red Hat ☛ Building effective Hey Hi (AI) agents with Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Large language models can generate impressive language, but they still struggle to operate effectively within enterprise systems. To make these models useful, you need more than good prompts. You need a reliable way for models to find the right context, call the right tools, follow enterprise policies, and leave an auditable record of their actions.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) offers that foundation. MCP standardizes how models discover, select, and call tools (Figure 1). This helps developers move from simple chatbots to reliable, active applications without reinventing every integration from scratch.

Hackaday ☛ M8SBC-86 Is An FPGA-Based “Kinda PC Compatible” 486
Given the technical specs of the FPGAs available to hobbyists these days, it really shouldn’t be a shock that you can implement a 486 core on one. In spite of knowing that in the technical sense, we were still caught off guard by [maniek-86]’s M8SBC project that does just that– the producing a 486 FPGA chipset with a motherboard to boot.
