How do you build an agentic AI system that can navigate internal knowledge bases without relying entirely on expensive frontier models? As part of his keynote at Day 1 of Red Hat Summit 2026, CEO Matt Hicks describes how Red Hat engineers moved from basic chatbots to a multi-agent deep research system running directly on Red Hat infrastructure.
Watch a detailed breakdown of how Red Hat built an internal agentic system capable of parsing massive bodies of data to return useful insights. Discover the step-by-step process used to replace massive commercial models with open-weight alternatives running on virtual large language model (vLLM) infrastructure. You will learn how small language models (SLMs) can excel at highly specific, isolated tasks within a larger architecture.
