Open models, global networks: How AT&T and GSMA are accelerating telecom innovation with Gemma

The GSMA and AT&T have launched an initiative to accelerate telecom innovation by creating domain-specific AI models for network operations. These models are trained on specialized telco datasets and can interpret nuanced technical logs and diagnose network performance bottlenecks. The use of open models like Google's Gemma is crucial for delivering flexibility and dynamism in global networks. This is a major step towards achieving network and process automation and agentic workflows in the telecom industry. The goal is to increase the accuracy and precision of AI models in telecoms, which currently stands at only 16%.
