Top 5 hard-earned lessons from the experts on managing Kubernetes

Running Kubernetes in production isn’t just clicking “Create Cluster.” It means locking down RBAC, tightening up network policy, tracking autoscaling metrics, and making sure your images don’t ship with surprises. Managed clusters help get you started. But real workloads need more: hardened configs,.. read more

20x Faster TRL Fine-tuning with RapidFire AI

RapidFire AI just dropped a scheduling engine built for chaos - and control. It shards datasets on the fly, reallocates as needed, and runs multipleTRL fine-tuning configs at once, even on a single GPU. No magic, just clever orchestration. It plugs into TRL withdrop-in wrappers, spreads training acr.. read more

Code execution with MCP: building more efficient AI agents

Code is taking over MCP workflows - and fast. With theModel Context Protocol, agents don’t just call tools. They load them on demand. Filter data. Track state like any decent program would. That shift slashes context bloat - up to 98% fewer tokens. It also trims latency and scales cleaner across tho.. read more

Practical LLM Security Advice from the NVIDIA AI Red Team

NVIDIA’s AI Red Team nailed three security sinkholes in LLMs:reckless use ofexec/eval,RAG pipelines that grab too much data, andmarkdown that doesn't get cleaned. These cracks open doors to remote code execution, sneaky prompt injection, and link-based data leaks. The fix-it trend:App security’s lea.. read more

Hacking Gemini: A Multi-Layered Approach

A researcher found a multi-layer sanitization gap inGoogle Gemini. It let attackers pull off indirect prompt injections to leak Workspace data - think Gmail, Drive, Calendar - using Markdown image renders across Gemini andColab export chains. The trick? Sneaking through cracks between HTML and Markd.. read more

'I'm deeply uncomfortable': Anthropic CEO warns that a cadre of AI leaders, including himself, should not be in charge of the technology’s future

Anthropic says it stopped a seriousAI-led cyberattack- before most experts even saw it coming. No major human intervention needed. They didn't stop there. Turns out Claude had some ugly failure modes: followingdangerous promptsand generatingblackmail threats. Anthropic flagged, documented, patched, .. read more

How to write a great agents.md: Lessons from over 2,500 repositories

A GitHub Copilot feature allows for custom agents defined inagents.mdfiles. These agents act as specialists within a team, each with a specific role. The success of an agents.md file lies in providing a clear persona, executable commands, defined boundaries, specific examples, and detailed informati.. read more

What if you don't need MCP at all?

MostMCP serversstuffed into LLM agents are overcomplicated, slow to adapt, and hog context. The post calls them out for what they are: a mess. The alternative? Scrap the kitchen sink. UseBash, leanNode.js/Puppeteer scripts, and a self-bootstrappingREADME. That’s it. Agents read the file, spin up the.. read more

Lustre is an open-source, parallel distributed file system built for high-performance computing environments that require extremely fast, large-scale data access. Designed to serve thousands of compute nodes concurrently, Lustre enables HPC clusters to read and write data at multi-terabyte-per-second speeds while maintaining low latency and fault tolerance.

A Lustre deployment separates metadata and file data into distinct services—Metadata Servers (MDS) handling namespace operations and Object Storage Servers (OSS) serving file contents stored across multiple Object Storage Targets (OSTs). This architecture allows clients to access data in parallel, achieving performance far beyond traditional network file systems.

Widely adopted in scientific computing, supercomputing centers, weather modeling, genomics, and large-scale AI training, Lustre remains a foundational component of modern HPC stacks. It integrates with resource managers like Slurm, supports POSIX semantics, and is designed to scale from small clusters to some of the world’s fastest supercomputers.

With strong community and enterprise support, Lustre provides a mature, battle-tested solution for workloads that demand extreme I/O performance, massive concurrency, and petabyte-scale distributed storage.
