• Red Hat Official ☛ Language and logic: Mustafa’s journey into AI research

  I first joined Red Hat as an undergraduate intern on the performance and scale team. After joining Red Hat full-time, I began working on MLCommons MLPerf AI inference optimization, as well as leading development for the CodeFlare/Ray distributed machine learning (ML) training stack for Red Hat OpenShift AI.

  This proposed desktop Linux distribution is a community-led initiative to create a standardized Linux desktop operating system tailored to European public sector organizations. The project, spearheaded by Robert Riemann of the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), aims to reduce reliance on proprietary software, particularly Microsoft Windows, while enhancing security, cost efficiency, and administrative control. You know, the usual.
