Tech Mahindra Unveils Multi-Modal Network Operations LLM For Telcos
Tech Mahindra has announced a new Multi-Modal Network Operations Large Language Model for Telcos, developed using the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and AWS Cloud infrastructure. The model is based on Llama 3.1 8b instruct model and is heavily customized for telecom networks, by training on large network datasets and applying the latest generative AI and agentic AI frameworks. It is designed to manage vast structured data (events, alarms, counters), unstructured data (logs, MOPs, SOPs, images, text, marketing), and all relevant network data, allowing proactive issue resolution and enhanced service quality. This model enables the transformation of traditional telecom networks into fully autonomous networks (L4 and above). While telcos have been implementing AI use cases with a transactional approach, achieving true operational efficiency requires a holistic embedding of AI capabilities within the network. Tech Mahindra, working with NVIDIA and AWS, is facilitating this transition and helping the telecom industry harness the full potential of AI for enhanced performance and operational excellence. This collaboration brings together Tech Mahindra's network automation platform , Tech Mahindra Optimized Framework TENO that incorporates NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NeMo™ and NIM microservices, along with AWS's Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This model empowers telecom operators to transform their networks into intent-based networks, embodying the principles of Self-Driving Networks (Zero x and Self x). Manish Mangal, Chief Technology Officer, Telecom & Global Business Head, Network Services, Tech Mahindra, said, 'The shift towards autonomous networks has become imperative within the telecom industry. Our collaboration with NVIDIA and AWS is pioneering a Multi-Modal Network Operations Large Model designed to enhance security, automate network management, and improve operational efficiency. Through this work, we will empower telcos to reduce operational costs and pave the way for a more agile and resilient network environment.' In the initial phase of the development, the Multi-Modal Network Operations Large Model will prioritize improving operational efficiency through 'Intelligent Observability', introducing two critical AI-driven use cases. First, the Dynamic Network Insights Studio will provide a unified 360-degree AI-powered network observability solution, offering deep insights into network performance for AI teams, network operations, and C-suite executives. Complementing this, the second use case, Proactive Network Anomaly Resolution Hub, will be an advanced AI-powered auto-resolution system that will autonomously detect and resolve network anomalies such as alarms or events with zero human intervention. Chris Penrose, Vice President of Telco Business Development, NVIDIA, said, 'The introduction of large telco models that understand the network language is a transformational moment for the telecom industry, helping to deliver AI-accelerated operations. Large telco models like Tech Mahindra's new Multi-Modal Network Operations Large Model — based on NVIDIA AI Enterprise — offer the foundation for creating multiple AI agents that will help enable fully autonomous networks.' Additionally, the solution architecture will seamlessly integrate AI-driven intelligence into network operations, encompassing three key components including first efficient data ingestion from the network; second, data curation and model customization to enhance AI training; and third, automated action implementation for quick resolution and restoration of services. Global AI spending in telecom is running into multi-billion-dollar investments; this collaboration reinforces Tech Mahindra's commitment to driving AI innovation in telecom and redefining network operations through intelligent automation, deep learning, and multimodal AI models. Further to this collaboration, Tech Mahindra's long-term vision is leveraging the Multi-Modal Network Operations Large Model to impact other business use cases as well. 0 0

MWC 2025: ServiceNow and NVIDIA expand collaboration designed to transform the telecoms industry
Mobile World Congress 2025: ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI platform for business transformation, has announced the introduction of AI agents for the telecom industry. The AI agents were built with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and the AI platform, NVIDIA DGX Cloud. The agents are designed to drive productivity across the entire service lifecycle. The first use cases will put AI agents to work for communications service providers (CSPs) to autonomously solve some of the most common, labor‑intensive workflows in customer service and network operations. The combination of ServiceNow's AI platform with NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NeMo, both part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, brings industry‑specific, out‑of‑the‑box AI agents and delivers a full‑stack agentic AI solution for CSPs to help resolve problems faster and deliver great customer experiences. AI is changing the way telecoms provide service and interact with customers, from automating routine tasks and enhancing self‑service options to enabling human agents to focus on complex issues and speed up customer response times. According to McKinsey, telecom companies could unlock up to $250 billion in value by 2040 by implementing advanced responsible AI practices[1], turning exceptional customer service into a strategic business advantage. 'AI continues to be the key driver of business transformation in telecom, and ServiceNow, working with NVIDIA, is playing a pivotal role in this shift,' said Rohit Batra, general manager and vice president for manufacturing, telecommunications, media, and technology at ServiceNow. 'The launch of new AI agents developed specifically for the telecom industry demonstrates our continued commitment to building solutions that help solve the biggest challenges facing business leaders. ServiceNow has been at the forefront of AI innovation for years, and this collaboration with NVIDIA marks the next step in delivering agentic AI‑powered automation that transforms how CSPs operate and serve their customers.' 'Telcos require AI acceleration to transform their operations,' said Chris Penrose, telco global VP of business development at NVIDIA. 'By creating NVIDIA‑powered AI agents to enhance telecom workflows for network operations and customer experience, ServiceNow is helping its customers improve efficiency, optimize costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.' Transforming operations through agentic AI New ready‑to‑use AI agents provide CSPs with automation and intelligence capabilities specifically designed to address their unique challenges—building upon the AI agents that are being rolled out to nearly 1,000 customers with GenAI capabilities on the ServiceNow Platform—and enabling them to collaborate, learn, reason, and solve problems on their own. Designed for the telecommunications industry, the AI agents use specialized frameworks and advanced reasoning to repair networks, address service disruptions, and help prevent customer issues before they happen. These AI agents take intelligent, context‑aware actions that work across the service lifecycle, including: Service test and repair : Offers faster, more seamless issue resolution. AI agents analyze network data, diagnose issues, recommend solutions, and coordinate repair actions, including field engineer scheduling. : Offers faster, more seamless issue resolution.
