Building AI the Open Source Way: Research Insights from Red Hat and the Linux Foundation
Red Hat, Tuesday, October 20th, 2026
Red Hat reviews Linux Foundation research on open source development in the generative AI era and what it means for AI.
Red Hat says the technologies that shape computing do not have to be built behind closed doors, and that AI has the chance to follow the open source path of operating systems and cloud infrastructure.
The post discusses the Linux Foundation report Navigating Open Source Software Development in the Generative AI Era, sponsored in part by Red Hat.
It highlights the report's evidence on both the opportunities and challenges of open source AI and what an open foundation for AI should look like.
