Jio Platforms, AMD, Cisco, and Nokia launched the Open Telecom AI Platform. The project is designed to pioneer the use of AI across all network domains.
One of the goals is to create a central intelligence layer for telecom and digital services. The multi-domain intelligence framework will integrate AI and automation into every segment of network operations. The AI platform will be large language model (LLM) agnostic and use open APIs to optimize functionality and capabilities.
By collectively harnessing agentic AI and using LLMs, domain-specific SLMs, and machine learning techniques, the Telecom AI Platform is intended to enable end-to-end intelligence for network management and operations. The partners noted by combining shared elements, the platform provides improvements across network security and efficiency alongside a reduction in total cost of ownership. The companies each bring their specific expertise to the consortium across domains including RAN, routing, AI computing, and security.
AgentOS is Infobip’s response to a phase in which agents are becoming an important tool for process automation and customer communication. Krešo Žmak says the market is still at an early stage, but clients are moving away from AI for the sake of innovation and towards measurable results. The next challenge will be controlling costs, user experience, and the nondeterministic nature of agentic systems.
Telecom operators approach AI from two directions: as providers of infrastructure for the digital transformation of other industries and as organisations embedding AI into their own processes. A1 Hrvatska has moved from prototypes to concrete products, from customer support to sovereign European cloud services. Daniel Šimić says workforce profiles are also changing, with fast learning, customer understanding and adaptability becoming more important.
Burra was created as a platform for consolidating IT services companies in Southeast Europe, with a commercial focus on Western Europe and the United States. Its first members, Devōt, Tacta and CoreLine, continue to run their existing businesses while integration is planned gradually, primarily through new projects. Sven Marušić says the aim is not to turn founders into corporate employees, but to build a larger organisation in which they remain shareholders and drivers of growth.
