Architecting The Upside For Open Source AI
Red Hat, March 24,2026
This blog is adapted from a recent conversation I had with Boston University CIO Chris Sedore, featured in Red Hat Research Quarterly's article, 'We've got to have everyone: combining research innovation with enterprise operations.'
I've always loved chasing a good problem. Whether it was tinkering with car engines or navigating open source AI tools, there's a specific excitement in that first breakthrough. You solve that initial puzzle-the prototype-and it feels great. But then you start looking deeper, going down the rabbit hole through the many layers of the stack, and you realize that the first fix was just the beginning. Once you truly understand how the gears turn, you see the opportunity to make the whole system better.
