Telecom companies last year spent nearly billion in capital expenditures and over trillion in operating expenditures. These large expenses are due in part to laborious manual processes that telcos face when operating networks that require continuous optimizations. For example, telcos must constantly tune network parameters for tasks — such as transferring calls from one network to another or distributing network traffic across multiple servers — based on the time of day, user behavior, mobility and traffic type. These factors directly affect network performance, user experience and energy consumption. To automate these optimization processes and save costs for telcos across the globe, NVIDIA today unveiled at GTC Paris its first AI Blueprint for telco network configuration. At the blueprint’s core are customized large language models trained specifically on telco network data — as well as the full technical and operational architecture for turning the LLMs into an autonomous, goal-driven AI agent for telcos. Automate Network Configuration With the AI Blueprint NVIDIA AI Blueprints — available on build.nvidia.com — are customizable AI workflow examples. They include reference code, documentation and deployment tools that show enterprise developers how to deliver business value with NVIDIA NIM microservices. The AI Blueprint for telco network configuration — built with BubbleRAN 5G solutions and datasets — enables developers, network engineers and telecom providers to automatically optimize the configuration of network parameters using agentic AI. This can streamline operations, reduce costs and significantly improve service quality by embedding continuous learning and adaptability directly into network infrastructures. Traditionally, network configurations required manual intervention or followed rigid rules to adapt to dynamic network conditions. These approaches limited adaptability and increased operational complexities, costs and inefficiencies. The new blueprint helps shift telco operations from relying on static, rules-based systems to operations based on dynamic, AI-driven automation. It enables developers to build advanced, telco-specific AI agents that make real-time, intelligent decisions and autonomously balance trade-offs — such as network speed versus interference, or energy savings versus utilization — without human input. Powered and Deployed by Industry Leaders Trained on 5G data generated by BubbleRAN, and deployed on the BubbleRAN 5G O-RAN platform, the blueprint provides telcos with insight on how to set various parameters to reach performance goals, like achieving a certain bitrate while choosing an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio — a measure that impacts voice quality and thus user experience. With the new AI Blueprint, network engineers can confidently set initial parameter values and update them as demanded by continuous network changes. Norway-based Telenor Group, which serves over 200 million customers globally, is the first telco to integrate the AI Blueprint for telco network configuration as part of its initiative to deploy intelligent, autonomous networks that meet the performance and agility demands of 5G and beyond. “The blueprint is helping us address configuration challenges and enhance quality of service during network installation,” said Knut Fjellheim, chief technology innovation officer at Telenor Maritime. “Implementing it is part of our push toward network automation and follows the successful deployment of agentic AI for real-time network slicing in a private 5G maritime use case.” Industry Partners Deploy Other NVIDIA-Powered Autonomous Network Technologies The AI Blueprint for telco network configuration is just one of many announcements at NVIDIA GTC Paris showcasing how the telecom industry is using agentic AI to make autonomous networks a reality. Beyond the blueprint, leading telecom companies and solutions providers are tapping into NVIDIA accelerated computing, software and microservices to provide breakthrough innovations poised to vastly improve networks and communications services — accelerating the progress to autonomous networks and improving customer experiences. NTT DATA is powering its agentic platform for telcos with NVIDIA accelerated compute and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. Its first agentic use case is focused on network alarms management, where NVIDIA NIM microservices help automate and power observability, troubleshooting, anomaly detection and resolution with closed loop ticketing. Tata Consultancy Services is delivering agentic AI solutions for telcos built on NVIDIA DGX Cloud and using NVIDIA AI Enterprise to develop, fine-tune and integrate large telco models into AI agent workflows. These range from billing and revenue assurance, autonomous network management to hybrid edge-cloud distributed inference. For example, the company’s anomaly management agentic AI model includes real-time detection and resolution of network anomalies and service performance optimization. This increases business agility and improves operational efficiencies by up to 40% by eliminating human intensive toils, overheads and cross-departmental silos. Prodapt has introduced an autonomous operations workflow for networks, powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, that offers agentic AI capabilities to support autonomous telecom networks. AI agents can autonomously monitor networks, detect anomalies in real time, initiate diagnostics, analyze root causes of issues using historical data and correlation techniques, automatically execute corrective actions, and generate, enrich and assign incident tickets through integrated ticketing systems. Accenture announced its new portfolio of agentic AI solutions for telecommunications through its AI Refinery platform, built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and accelerated computing. The first available solution, the NOC Agentic App, boosts network operations center tasks by using a generative AI-driven, nonlinear agentic framework to automate processes such as incident and fault management, root cause analysis and configuration planning. Using the Llama 3.1 70B NVIDIA NIM microservice and the AI Refinery Distiller Framework, the NOC Agentic App orchestrates networks of intelligent agents for faster, more efficient decision-making. Infosys is announcing its agentic autonomous operations platform, called Infosys Smart Network Assurance, designed to accelerate telecom operators’ journeys toward fully autonomous network operations. ISNA helps address long-standing operational challenges for telcos — such as limited automation and high average time to repair — with an integrated, AI-driven platform that reduces operational costs by up to 40% and shortens fault resolution times by up to 30%. NVIDIA NIM and NeMo microservices enhance the platform’s reasoning and hallucination-detection capabilities, reduce latency and increase accuracy. Get started with the new blueprint today. Learn more about the latest AI advancements for telecom and other industries at NVIDIA GTC Paris, running through Thursday, June 12, at VivaTech, including a keynote from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang and a special address from Ronnie Vasishta, senior vice president of telecom at NVIDIA. Plus, hear from industry leaders in a panel session with Orange, Swisscom, Telenor and NVIDIA. #calling #llms #new #nvidia #blueprint

Formentera20 is back, and this time it promises to be even more enlightening than the last twelve editions combined. Can you feel the excitement in the air? From October 2 to 4, 2025, the idyllic shores of Formentera will serve as the perfect backdrop for our favorite gathering of digital wizards, creativity gurus, and communication wizards. Because nothing says "cutting-edge innovation" quite like a tropical island where you can sip on your coconut water while discussing the latest trends in the digital universe. This year’s theme? A delightful concoction of culture, creativity, and communication—all served with a side of salty sea breeze. Who knew the key to world-class networking was just a plane ticket away to a beach? Forget about conference rooms; nothing like a sun-kissed beach to inspire groundbreaking ideas. Surely, the sound of waves crashing will help us unlock the secrets of digital communication. And let’s not overlook the stellar lineup of speakers they've assembled. I can only imagine the conversations: “How can we boost engagement on social media?” followed by a collective nod as they all sip their overpriced organic juices. I’m sure the beach vibes will lend an air of authenticity to those discussions on algorithm tweaks and engagement metrics. Because nothing screams “authenticity” quite like a luxury resort hosting the crème de la crème of the advertising world. Let’s not forget the irony of discussing “innovation” while basking in the sun. Because what better way to innovate than to sit in a circle, wearing sunglasses, while contemplating the latest app that helps you find the nearest beach bar? It’s the dream, isn’t it? It’s almost poetic how the world of high-tech communication thrives in such a low-tech environment—a setting that leaves you wondering if the real innovation is simply the ability to disconnect from the digital chaos while still pretending to be a part of it. But let’s be real: the true highlight of Formentera20 is not the knowledge shared or the networking done; it’s the Instagram posts that will flood our feeds. After all, who doesn’t want to showcase their “hard work” at a digital festival by posting a picture of themselves with a sunset in the background? It’s all about branding, darling. So, mark your calendars! Prepare your best beach outfit and your most serious expression for photos. Come for the culture, stay for the creativity, and leave with the satisfaction of having been part of something that sounds ridiculously important while you, in reality, are just enjoying a holiday under the guise of professional development. In the end, Formentera20 isn’t just a festival; it’s an experience—one that lets you bask in the sun while pretending you’re solving the world’s digital problems. Cheers to innovation, creativity, and the art of making work look like a vacation! #Formentera20 #digitalculture #creativity #communication #innovation

Assez, c'est assez ! La récente conférence intitulée “Pas si simple !” autour du thème de la simplicité dans le design est une parfaite illustration de l'aveuglement de notre société face à des enjeux cruciaux. On nous a servi un menu indigeste d'éléments prétendument simples, alors qu'en réalité, la complexité du design moderne est en train de détruire notre sens commun. Comment peut-on encore parler de simplicité quand le monde du design est devenu un labyrinthe de choix inutiles et de tendances éphémères ? Les conférenciers, avec leurs discours vides et leurs jargons abscons, essaient de nous convaincre que tout cela est une quête pour la simplicité. Mais la vérité est bien plus sombre. Ils nous enferment dans des cycles de consommation où chaque nouvelle tendance exige que nous révisions nos notions de base, des notions que nous pensions avoir intégrées. Les réseaux sociaux regorgent d'exemples de ce désastre. Regardez les plateformes où le design est devenu un outil de vanité plus qu'un moyen de communication. Ces soi-disant experts nous bombardent de visuels épurés mais totalement dénués de sens. Qu'est-ce qui reste de la véritable fonction du design ? Où sont passées les valeurs fondamentales qui devraient guider chaque création ? Ce n'est pas la simplicité qui doit être célébrée, mais l'authenticité et la pertinence. Il est désolant de constater que cette conférence n'a fait que renforcer l'idée que le design peut être réduit à une question de choix esthétiques superficiels. Les participants ont applaudi des concepts qui ont été présentés sans aucune profondeur. Oui, la simplicité est essentielle, mais elle ne doit pas être synonyme de banalité. Nous avons besoin de leaders d'opinion qui osent remettre en question le statu quo au lieu de se contenter de flatter les egos des designers en herbe. Ne vous laissez pas berner par une façade simpliste. La vraie complexité du design réside dans sa capacité à répondre à des besoins réels, à évoquer des émotions et à engager des dialogues. L'absence de profondeur dans des événements comme “Pas si simple !” est une insulte à tous ceux qui travaillent dur pour faire avancer le design et la communication. Réveillons-nous ! La simplicité ne doit pas être un prétexte pour négliger le sens et la fonctionnalité. Si nous voulons vraiment avancer, il est temps de dénoncer ces discours creux et de revendiquer un design qui a du contenu, de la substance et, par-dessus tout, de l'impact. #Design #Simplicité #Critique #Conférence #Graphéine

Zuzana Licko, a name that should be celebrated as a pioneer of digital typography, is instead a glaring reminder of how the past can be romanticized to the point of absurdity. Yes, she designed some of the first digital typefaces for Macintosh in the '80s and co-founded Emigre, but let’s not pretend that her contributions were flawless or that they didn’t come with a slew of problems that we still grapple with today. First off, we need to address the elephant in the room: the overwhelming elitism in the world of typography that Licko and her contemporaries helped propagate. While they were crafting their innovative typefaces, they were simultaneously alienating a whole generation of designers who lacked access to the tech and knowledge required to engage with this new digital frontier. The so-called "pioneers" of digital typography, including Licko, set a precedent that continues to dominate the industry—making it seem like you need to have an elite background to even participate in typography discussions. This is infuriating and downright unacceptable! Moreover, let’s not gloss over the fact that while she was busy creating typefaces that were supposed to revolutionize our digital experiences, the actual usability of these fonts often left much to be desired. Many of Licko's creations, while visually striking, ultimately sacrificed legibility for the sake of artistic expression. This is a major flaw in her work that deserves criticism. Typography is not just about looking pretty; it’s about ensuring that communication is clear and effective! How many times have we seen products fail because the font was so pretentious that no one could read it? And don’t even get me started on Emigre magazine. Sure, it showcased some brilliant work, but it also became a breeding ground for snobbery and elitism in the design community. Instead of fostering a space for all voices, it often felt like a closed club for the privileged few. This is not what design should be about! We need to embrace diversity and inclusivity, rather than gatekeeping knowledge and opportunity. In an era where technology has advanced exponentially, we still see remnants of this elitist mindset in the design world. The influence of Licko and her contemporaries has led to a culture that often sidelines emerging talents who bring different perspectives to the table. Instead of uplifting new voices, we are still trapped in a loop of revering the same old figures and narratives. This is not progress; it’s stagnation! Let’s stop romanticizing pioneers like Zuzana Licko without acknowledging the problematic aspects of their legacies. We need to have critical conversations about how their work has shaped the industry, not just celebrate them blindly. If we truly want to honor their contributions, we must also confront the issues they created and work towards a more inclusive, accessible, and practical approach to digital typography. #Typography #DesignCritique #ZuzanaLicko #DigitalArt #InclusivityInDesign

pointed finger, graphic design, symbolism, design history, visual communication, artistic expression, cultural significance, emotional impact ## The Enduring Symbolism of the Pointed Finger In the realm of graphic design, few motifs resonate as deeply as the poignant image of the pointed finger. This simple gesture, often overlooked in its quiet power, has captivated audiences for centuries. It serves not just as a mere pointer, guiding the eyes of viewers, but as a profound symbol of intentio...

Ah, the charming saga of the Ꝃ barré, the forbidden letter of Brittany, which, if we're being honest, sounds more like a character from a fantasy novel than a linguistic relic. Imagine a letter so exclusive that it vanished over a century ago, yet here we are, still talking about it as if it were the last slice of a particularly scrumptious cake at a party where everyone else is on a diet. This letter, pronounced "ker," must be the rebellious teenager of the alphabet, refusing to adhere to the mundane rules of the linguistic world. Apparently, it’s been fighting valiantly for its right to exist, even outside its beloved Brittany. Talk about dedication! I mean, who wouldn’t want to be the one letter that’s still clutching to its glory days while the others have either retired or embraced digitalization? Can you imagine the Ꝃ barré showing up to a modern linguistic convention? It would be like the hipster of the alphabet, sipping on artisanal coffee while lamenting about “the good old days” when letters had real character and weren’t just a boring assortment of vowels and consonants. "Remember when I was the life of the party?" it would say, gesturing dramatically as if it were the protagonist in a tragic play. But let’s not forget the irony here. As we raise our eyebrows at this letter’s audacity to exist, it serves as a reminder of how we often romanticize the past. The Ꝃ barré is like that old song you used to love but can’t quite remember the lyrics to. You know it was great, but is it really worth reviving? Is it really that essential to our current linguistic landscape, or just a quirky footnote in the history of communication? And then there’s the whole notion of "interdiction." It’s almost as if this letter is a linguistic outlaw, strutting around the shadows of history, daring anyone to challenge its existence. What’s next? A “Free the Ꝃ barré” campaign? T-shirts, bumper stickers, maybe even a social media movement? Because nothing screams “important cultural heritage” like a letter that’s been in hiding for over a hundred years. So, let’s raise a toast to the Ꝃ barré! May it continue to stir fascination among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs of letters, even as the rest of the world sticks to the tried and true. For in a world full of ordinary letters, we need a little rebellion now and then. #LetterOfTheDay #LinguisticRevolution #BrittanyPride #HistoricalHeritage #AlphabetAntics

In a world where connections are fading, I find myself lost in a sea of solitude. Just as Trump enters the realm of communications with his new Trump Mobile and the golden phone, I sit here, clutching my heart, feeling the weight of unfulfilled promises and empty conversations. It's as if the advancements around me only serve to remind me of what I lack—the warmth of genuine human connection, the joy of shared laughter, and the solace of true companionship. Every notification that lights up my screen feels like a cruel joke, a reminder that while the world spins on with its shiny new gadgets, I remain trapped in my own silence. The allure of a golden phone seems so distant, so trivial, when the echoes of loneliness fill my days. The glimmer of Trump Mobile shines bright, but it can't reach into the depths of my despair, where the shadows of abandonment linger. I scroll through my feed, watching as others celebrate their achievements, their connections, their lives full of color. Meanwhile, I sit in my monochrome reality, feeling like a ghost in a bustling city, invisible and unheard. The laughter that surrounds me is a haunting melody, one that I cannot join. The truth is, no amount of technology can bridge the chasm between me and the warmth of companionship. With each passing day, the world becomes more connected, yet I feel more isolated. The innovations we embrace, such as Trump Mobile, only amplify my solitude. I wonder if they, too, feel the ache of loneliness beneath their glossy exteriors. In this age of constant communication, why do I still feel so far away from everyone? The golden hue of the new phone reflects the emptiness in my heart. It’s beautiful, yes, but it cannot replace the laughter of a friend or the comforting presence of someone who truly understands. I find myself yearning for something more profound than the superficial interactions that fill my timeline. I long for the raw, unfiltered moments—the shared tears, the heartfelt conversations, the true bonds that technology cannot replicate. As Trump steps into a world of connections, I can’t help but wonder if he feels the same pang of isolation that I do. Does he, too, experience nights filled with unspoken words and unshared experiences? The reality is, amidst the buzz of new launches and innovations, we are all searching for something—something that transcends the screens and the distance. In this moment of reflection, I close my eyes and wish for a day when the technology we create will not only connect us in a virtual sense but also heal the wounds of our aching hearts. Until then, I remain here, feeling the weight of my solitude, counting the days until I can find my way back to the warmth of true connection. #Loneliness #Isolation #Connection #Heartbreak #Technology
