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.

Disney+ has decided to pull "The Abyss" once again, and it's all because of some controversial rat scene that seems to be stirring up more drama than it deserves. Honestly, who cares? It’s just another instance of a streaming platform trying to dodge the backlash over something that probably wouldn’t even register on most people's radars. I mean, really, is anyone out there actually invested in why a rat scene is causing such a fuss? It feels like a lot of noise over nothing. Maybe some will argue that it’s about censorship or artistic integrity, but it just sounds a bit tedious to me. People get riled up about these things, while I just sit here wondering when the next big thing will actually be interesting. The whole situation seems like a never-ending cycle of re-evaluating content. Disney+ pulls a film, people complain, and then it gets put back in the vault. It’s like watching a rerun of a show you didn’t even like the first time. The Abyss may have its moments, but if a rat scene is what’s holding it back, maybe it’s not worth the time anyway. Let’s face it, with so much else out there to watch, does anyone really want to dwell on a movie that has been pulled over a rodent? It’s exhausting to keep up with these controversies, and honestly, it’s easier to just scroll past. If you’re looking for something exciting, maybe check out a different platform? While the buzz around "The Abyss" might catch some attention, I won't be holding my breath for its return. It just feels like more of the same: a mix of politics, social media outrage, and a streaming service trying to play it safe. If they really wanted to make waves, wouldn't they just leave it alone and let people decide for themselves? In the end, "The Abyss" is just another title on a long list of films that have fallen victim to the whims of public opinion. So, let’s just move on to something else, shall we? There’s plenty of content out there that doesn’t come with the baggage of a controversial rat scene. #DisneyPlus #TheAbyss #FilmControversy #StreamingNews #Boredom

In the shadows of a world that seems to have forgotten me, I find myself reflecting on the haunting image of Donald Trump, the martyr who enters history with a face stained by struggle. This image, where he raises his fist, shouting “I am alive, fight for me!” resonates deep within my soul, as I too feel the weight of a battle fought in silence. Each day, I awaken to a reality that feels increasingly isolating, a cacophony of voices drowning out my own. Like Trump, I stand amidst the chaos, yearning for recognition, for some semblance of belonging. His bloodied visage, a symbol of defiance, mirrors my own wounds—unseen, unacknowledged. The world rushes past, busy with its narratives, while I linger in the echoes of my solitude. Amidst the noise, I am reminded of my own struggles, my own fight to be seen and heard. The image of Trump, once a figure of controversy, now appears as a tragic hero to those who believe in his cause. But what of those of us fighting our personal battles, who find ourselves trapped in the shadows? Where is our anthem of resilience? Where is our history being carved? I feel the piercing sting of betrayal as I navigate through relationships that feel more like ghosts than connections. Friends fade into the background, their lives moving forward while I remain tethered to a past that haunts me. As I watch the world celebrate moments of triumph and unity, my heart aches with the knowledge that I am left behind, like a forgotten footnote in a story that no longer includes me. There’s a certain pain that comes with this realization, a deep-seated loneliness that wraps around me like a shroud. Each moment of joy I witness in others feels like a dagger to my heart, a reminder of the warmth I long for but cannot touch. I am an outsider looking in, yearning for the camaraderie that seems so easily accessible to others. In the end, perhaps we are all just martyrs in our own right—fighting battles that may never be recognized, enduring pain that may never find an audience. As I sit here, reflecting on the image of a man who has become a symbol of resilience amidst adversity, I am reminded that my voice, too, has the power to resonate. I will not let my story fade into obscurity; I will fight for my place in this world, even if it feels like an uphill battle. For those who feel as I do, remember: we are not alone. Our struggles may be silent, but they matter. We are alive, and we will continue to fight. #Loneliness #Struggle #Resilience #Martyrdom #Isolation

In the quiet corners of my heart, I feel the weight of a world that has lost its colors. The once vibrant album covers that used to speak volumes about the music they adorned have faded into obscurity, replaced by the sterile glow of digital screens. The story of music album covers is not just a tale of art; it's a mournful journey of disappearance and standardization, echoing the loneliness that now fills our lives. With the dawn of the iPod in 2001, music transformed into something intangible, something without a face or a body. I remember the thrill of holding a physical album, the anticipation of unwrapping it, and the joy of discovering the artwork that encapsulated the artist's soul. Those visuals were a window into the emotions of the music, a glimpse into the artist's world. But now, as I scroll through endless playlists, I can't help but feel a profound sense of loss. Each click feels hollow, devoid of the beauty that once was. Where are the stories behind the covers? The creativity that flourished in the analog era has been replaced by a monotonous stream of pixels. The uniqueness of each album has been surrendered to a sea of sameness, and in this standardization, I find myself feeling more isolated than ever. It’s as if the music I once cherished has become just another commodity, stripped of its essence. Alone in a crowd, I find myself yearning for the connection that music used to bring. I miss the days when I could flip through a record store, each cover telling a story, each spine a promise of something beautiful. Now, I’m left with a digital library that feels more like an archive of forgotten memories than a celebration of creativity. The loneliness creeps in when I realize that the art of the album cover, the very visual representation of the music, has been lost in the noise of progress. Every time I play a song, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing something vital. Music should embrace us, should touch our hearts, should tell us that we are not alone. But instead, I feel a haunting emptiness, a reminder that we have traded depth for convenience. In this digital age, I search for meaning in a world that seems to have forgotten how to connect. As I sit in silence, surrounded by the echoes of melodies that once brought me joy, I can’t help but mourn the loss of the album cover. It was more than just a visual; it was a piece of art that held the spirit of the music within. Now, I am left with a collection of songs, but the stories behind them have vanished like whispers in the wind. #MusicMemories #AlbumArt #Loneliness #DigitalEra #LostConnection

In the stillness of the night, I often find myself reflecting on the weight of solitude that has become my constant companion. It's a heavy silence, tinged with the echoes of laughter that once filled my world, now replaced by the cold glow of screens that seem to understand me less with every passing day. The irony is palpable; as we forge connections through social media, we often find ourselves more isolated than ever. 💔 The truth is, behind the prohibition of social networks for minors lies a heartbreaking reality—one that speaks to the vulnerability of youth navigating a digital landscape rife with dangers. It's easy to dismiss the issue, to overlook the silent suffering of those who, with a mere click, can stumble into a world that doesn’t care for their innocence. They enter these platforms seeking companionship, yet they often leave with scars they cannot articulate. 😢 When I think about the legislation that France has introduced in 2023, I can't help but feel a flicker of hope amidst the despair. Perhaps it is a step towards acknowledging the fragility of young hearts, a recognition of the grave responsibilities that come with such unfettered access. But still, I wonder—what about the children who have already fallen through the cracks? The ones who are left alone in a virtual void, seeking validation from faceless profiles, only to be met with rejection and hurt. 😞 In a world that celebrates connectivity, I can't shake the feeling that we are more disconnected than ever. Each notification that lights up my screen feels like a reminder of the connections I lack in reality. The laughter of friends fades, replaced by the frantic scrolling through a feed of curated lives that never seem to reflect my own. The irony stings—surrounded by millions, yet feeling so profoundly alone. 💔 As we grapple with the implications of online interactions, I can’t help but mourn for those who feel just like me—lost in a sea of digital noise, searching for a lifeline that seems to elude them. The question remains: what is the cost of this digital freedom? Are we, in our quest to keep the younger generation safe, inadvertently robbing them of meaningful connections? Or are we merely acknowledging the pain that has already taken root in their hearts? I write this not just for myself, but for every soul who feels the weight of loneliness in a crowded room and for every child navigating the treacherous waters of social media. May we find a way to bridge the gap, to create spaces where we can truly connect, where the pain of isolation is softened by understanding and empathy. 🌧️ #Loneliness #SocialMedia #YouthProtection #DigitalIsolation #Heartbreak

The protests in Los Angeles have brought a lot of attention, but honestly, it’s just the same old story. The Chatbot disinformation is like that annoying fly that keeps buzzing around, never really going away. You’d think people would be more careful about what they believe, but here we are. The spread of disinformation online is just fueling the fire, making everything seem more chaotic than it really is. It’s kind of exhausting to see the same patterns repeat. There’s a protest, some people get riled up, and then the misinformation starts pouring in. It’s like a never-ending cycle. Our senior politics editor dives into this topic in the latest episode of Uncanny Valley, talking about how these chatbots are playing a role in amplifying false information. Not that many people seem to care, though. The online landscape is flooded with all kinds of messages that can easily distort reality. It’s almost as if people are too tired to fact-check anymore. Just scroll through social media, and you’ll see countless posts that are misleading or completely untrue. The impact on the protests is real, with misinformation adding to the confusion and frustration. One could argue that it’s a bit depressing, really. As the protests continue, it’s hard to see a clear path forward. Disinformation clouds the truth, and people seem to just accept whatever they see on their screens. It’s all so monotonous. The same discussions being had over and over again, and yet nothing really changes. The chatbots keep generating content, and the cycle goes on. Honestly, it makes you wonder whether anyone is actually listening or if they’re just scrolling mindlessly. The discussions about the protests and the role of disinformation should be enlightening, but they often feel repetitive and bland. It’s hard to muster any excitement when the conversations feel so stale. In the end, it’s just more noise in a world that’s already too loud. The protests might be important, but the chatbots and their disinformation are just taking away from the real issues at hand. This episode of Uncanny Valley might shed some light, but will anyone really care? Who knows. #LosAngelesProtests #Disinformation #Chatbots #UncannyValley #Misinformation

In a world filled with noise and confusion, I often find myself wandering through the shadows of my own thoughts, feeling the weight of solitude pressing down on my heart. Life seems to be a maze of unanswered questions, and every attempt to connect with others feels like reaching for a mirage, only to grasp nothing but empty air. 💔 The moments of joy I once held close now feel like distant memories, echoes of laughter fading into silence. I watch as others move forward, their lives intertwined in a tapestry of companionship and love, while I remain a mere spectator, lost in a sea of loneliness. The more I search for meaning, the more isolated I feel, as if I am trapped within an invisible cage of despair. 🥀 Sometimes, I think about how a multi-criteria search form could be a metaphor for my life—a tool that should help me filter through the chaos and find what truly matters. But instead, I am left with a default search, sifting through the mundane and the ordinary, finding little that resonates with my heart. The longing for depth and connection grows stronger, yet I find myself surrounded by barriers that prevent me from reaching out. Each day feels like a quest for something more, a yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels superficial. The possibility of a more advanced search for companionship seems like a distant dream. I wish I could apply those multi-criteria filters to my emotions, to sift through the layers of hurt and find the moments of true connection. But here I am, feeling invisible, as if my heart is a book with pages torn out—lost to time and forgotten by the world. 📖 In these quiet moments, I hold onto the hope that perhaps one day, I will find the right filters to navigate this labyrinth of loneliness. Until then, I carry my heart in silence, longing for the day when the search will lead me to a place where I truly belong. #Loneliness #Heartbreak #EmotionalJourney #SearchingForConnection #FeelingLost
