Prodapt Announces Agentic Solutions for Autonomous Operations Powered by NVIDIA AI Platform
The solution leverages the NVIDIA AI platform to build and deploy Telco-trained AI Agents that predict, analyze, reason, and simulate to resolve incidents impacting service quality and customer experience.
Telcos want to deliver better experiences and cut costs and AI Agents help by accelerating the next transformational leap from traditional BSS/OSS systems. This requires agile AI infrastructure, cutting-edge GenAI platforms, and AI integration skills, to enable scalability as the industry evolves beyond experimentation.
As part of its Practical AI strategy, Prodapt has built a range of AI Agents across the Telecom value chain, which are powered by NVIDIA NIM™ and NVIDIA NeMo™ microservices. These agents go beyond simple actions, solving multi-step problem statements to improve operational efficiency, customer experience, revenue monetization, enterprise modernization, and accelerate the deployment of critical applications.
Autonomous Operations (AO)
The first Autonomous Agent is focused on Network operations: The Telecom network issue resolution workflow is complex – impaired by a legacy stack and inability to forecast issues or ascertain available field resources in last-mile service delivery. Prodapt's solution inserts AI Agents across this workflow, deploying them for predictive analytics, issuing proactive alerts, finding the right Network Engineer and dispatching jobs, creating issue summaries, enabling guided resolution plans, and closing the loop after resolution. Simulations suggest the solution will enable Telcos to achieve a 30% improvement in resolution cycle time and drive better resource utilization.
'Prodapt's AO solution developed with NVIDIA AI Enterprise is compelling for two reasons: it combines AI agents and human expertise in the most ingenious way possible, and secondly, it future-proofs Telco networks, going from reactive to proactive operations by mainstreaming Agentic AI into the full lifecycle,' said Chris Penrose, Global Head of Business Development, Telecoms, at NVIDIA.
'AI integration is turning out to be the Number One priority for the Autonomous Operations vision. With a variety of ready to use AI Agents and infrastructure providers crowding a contested market, Telcos need a guiding hand to help them provision and operate the right solutions, operated by handpicked global AI talent. Prodapt delivers what is necessary to turn PoCs into impactful solutions through our Practical AI vision with NVIDIA,' Rajiv Papneja, CTO, Prodapt.

Hedge funds shift bets to double down on Big Tech amid AI boom
By Anirban Sen and Carolina Mandl NEW YORK (Reuters) -Wall Street's largest hedge funds, Bridgewater Associates, Tiger Global Management and Discovery Capital, increased their exposure to Big Tech in the second quarter amid a generational boom in the growth of artificial intelligence. During the June quarter, hedge funds cut their exposure to laggards in industries like aerospace and defense, and consumer and retail, as part of a broader move back to momentum investing. It marks a big shift from earlier this year when bets on Big Tech had soured for top money managers due to tariff-fueled volatility in financial markets, with investor concerns around rising inflation and fears of a bubble in AI triggering a sell-off in "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Since then, tech stocks have staged a big comeback. The S&P 500 is up 10% so far this year, buoyed largely by the largest tech companies, which account for nearly a third of the combined market cap of companies on the index. Outside technology, some hedge funds, such as Lone Pine and Discovery, also bet on UnitedHealth Group. Berkshire Hathaway and Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management also unveiled bets on the insurer, while Soros Fund Management boosted an existing position. Shares in UnitedHealth are down 46% this year, as the company faces rising costs, a U.S. Department of Justice probe, a cyberattack and the shooting of former top executive Brian Thompson last December. The fund's positions were revealed in quarterly securities filings known as 13Fs. While backward-looking, these filings typically reveal what funds owned on the last day of the quarter and are one of the few ways hedge funds and other institutional investors have to declare their positions. Below are the details of the changes in the holdings of the top hedge funds: BRIDGEWATER ASSOCIATES Bridgewater Associates added more shares in Nvidia, Alphabet and Microsoft in the second quarter. The macro hedge fund founded by Ray Dalio more than doubled its bets in Nvidia. It ended June with 7.23 million shares in the chipmaker, or 154.5% more than it had at the end of March. Nvidia was Bridgewater's biggest bet in a single stock, totaling $1.14 billion. Its holdings in Alphabet and Microsoft went up by 84.1% and 111.9%, respectively, amounting to $987 million and $853 million. Other AI-related stocks added were Broadcom (+102.7%), to 317.8 million shares, or $317 million, and Palo Alto Networks (+117%), to 313.8 million, or $314 million. DISCOVERY CAPITAL Discovery Capital, whose founder Rob Citrone has recently been bullish on Mexico's America Movil due to its exposure to Latin America, doubled its stake in the wireless provider during the second quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, the fund amassed another 2.65 million shares, valuing its current holding in America Movil at about $95 million. Citrone's hedge fund, which generated a 52% windfall on its investments last year, has increased its exposure to Latin America as part of a strategy to diversify from U.S. holdings. During the quarter, Discovery increased its holdings in Big Tech, as it more than doubled its stake in Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, while also betting on booming demand for AI as it took a new position in Nvidia-backed cloud provider CoreWeave. The hedge fund also increased its position in UnitedHealth by 13%. TIGER GLOBAL MANAGEMENT Tiger Global Management bought more stocks in some Magnificent Seven companies in the second quarter, including Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft and Meta, its 13Fs showed. Chase Coleman's hedge fund added roughly 4 million shares of Amazon and ended June with roughly 10 million shares, worth $2.34 billion. The fund also increased its bets in smaller AI-players. It added over 800,000 shares in chip-making equipment supplier Lam Research Corp, ending June with 5.26 million shares, valued at $512 million. COATUE MANAGEMENT Many changes in Philippe Laffont's Coatue Management portfolio were also around AI-related stocks. It unveiled new positions in both Arm Holdings and Oracle, adding stakes worth roughly $750 million and $843 million, respectively. Both companies have boosted AI-related business initiatives. Coatue also increased its holdings in Nvidia-backed CoreWeave, adding 3.39 million shares in the second quarter, with its stake in the company worth $2.9 billion. LONE PINE Lone Pine Capital took a new position in UnitedHealth Group, buying up 1.69 million shares worth about $528 million during the June quarter.

Telstra's AI demand for all workers after frank admission about jobs vanishing
Telstra has ordered all of its workers to start using artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure they are as efficient as possible. While some companies across Australia have been dabbling with the new technology, the telco is going full steam ahead with it. A poll of more than 1,300 Yahoo Finance readers found 40 per cent "hate" dealing with AI in their jobs, while 21 per cent fear their role is on the line because of it. But Telstra CEO Vicky Brady said adopting AI will hopefully see workers improve their workflows and cut down on unnecessary tasks. 'One of our early lessons here was [that] you can learn the theory of it, but you've got to have that practical hands-on ability to try it, to use it, to figure out how it can deliver benefits for you," she said. RELATED Jobs safest and most at risk of AI takeover as Australia begins major transition ATO $2,548 tax refund cash boost for 2.6 million Aussies Hidden $3,000 per year cost of cashless revolt as record number of banknotes hoarded While announcing Telstra's full-year profit of $2.34 billion, she gave an example of using AI to turn a document that's dozens or even hundreds of pages long, which could take hours or days to read, into a 30-minute podcast. "Some of those tips and tricks are definitely the things that we're finding is working. And we're absolutely finding our teams really curious and eager to learn," she isn't perfect, but Telstra is pushing ahead with 'big investment' Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and others aren't always perfect, and some have suffered from what's called hallucinations. This is when the LLMs produce information out of thin air and relying solely on what the AI has produced could lead workers down the wrong path. That 30-minute podcast could be filled with loads of inaccuracies unless a worker double-checks what it spits out against the source material, which could end up making that initial efficiency play redundant. Telstra purchased 21,000 licences of Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant, the biggest investment of any company in Australia. "But that's an investment in our teams to really gain that experience in how to apply AI in every job across our business. And when I say every job, I mean every job,' Brady said. Copilot can help people create documents, presentations, emails and even social media content, as well as analyse data to find trends or generate formulas. Like other LLMs, it's like having a virtual assistant to do tasks for you that might normally eat up your workday. AI can help you be efficient, but could it end up replacing you? The telco CEO believes these new efficiencies from AI will help staff cut down on laborious hours of work and invest that time into other areas that could help the company grow and evolve into the next generation. However, some of those workers could soon find themselves out of a job because of this AI technology. Back in May, Brady admitted that Telstra will likely have fewer workers by the end of the decade and that cutting jobs would be a necessary evil. 'Our workforce will look different in 2030 as we develop new capabilities, find new ways to leverage technology – including AI – and we have to stay focused on becoming more efficient,' she explained at the telco's annual shareholder meeting. 'We will need to continue to evolve, and our commitment is to always be transparent with our employees and act with care once we are clear on specific changes. 'We don't know precisely what our workforce will look like in 2030, but it will be smaller than it is today.' She said the pace of change within Telstra will likely be "extraordinary" as a result of adopting more AI. In July, the telco announced it would be cutting 550 jobs, but stressed this was not due to artificial intelligence. AI blamed for dozens of job losses in Australia already AI has already seen dozens of jobs be wiped out at Commonwealth Bank, and there are fears this could be the start of a much broader trend across Australian workplaces. A total of 90 jobs are due to be cut by the country's biggest bank, according to the Finance Sector Union (FSU). That includes 45 roles in direct banking that are being impacted by a new voice robot system and local customer messaging specialist roles who interact with customers through the bank's online chat. Aussie tech company Atlassian also recently fired 150 people due to new efficiencies, with some of those roles being lost to AI. FSU national secretary Julia Angrisano said adopting artificial technology can be a great step for many businesses, but it shouldn't replace human workers altogether. 'Our members want to be trained and supported into better jobs that leverage AI," she said. 'There is a human cost to this. You can't just replace frontline jobs with a voice bot and expect the same service for customers." Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) assistant national secretary Melissa Payne echoed this and said workers should have "the right to a strong say in how new technology will affect their jobs and industries".
