Frontier AI isn\u2019t ready for telecom. Let\u2019s build the AI that is.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Open Telco AI is a shared, open platform where operators, vendors, and developers are co-creating the foundations of “telco-grade” AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Telecom AI Gap<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s frontier AI models can pass medical exams and write complex code, but ask them to interpret a 3GPP specification or troubleshoot a radio access issue, and they fall apart.

Only 16% of Gen AI deployments target networks and network operations despite being the largest cost center in the industry. Telecom infrastructure demands more than “good enough.” It demands precision, efficiency, and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tools To Build Telco-Grade AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are providing the building blocks to take telecom AI from theory to production.

Some examples of tools that will be available:

Satellite:<\/strong> A terminal UI to run benchmarks and submit to the leaderboard.
Agentic AI Testbed:<\/strong> Evaluate AI agents against real-world telecom scenarios.
Nika:<\/strong> A simulated network arena to test how well AI diagnoses and resolves injected faults.

Built on Open <\/strong>Principles<\/strong> by an<\/strong><\/span> Active Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No single operator, vendor, or AI lab can solve this alone. That\u2019s why Open Telco AI isn’t a product\u2014it’s an industry-wide effort.

Join our Community that is collaborating to ensure the future of telecom AI isn’t locked behind the doors of a few well-resourced players. Over 46 organisations across more than 35 countries are already contributing \u2014 through challenges<\/a>, competitions, research collaborations, and shared evaluation frameworks. Open Telco AI isn\u2019t a product. It\u2019s an industry effort.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
