Nvidia made headlines in October when it announced plans to invest $1 billion in telecom vendor Nokia to develop AI-RAN solutions that use its GPUs. But do GPUs even make sense for AI-RAN? We sat down with Orange's Atoosa Hatefi and Dell'Oro Group's Stefan Pongratz to dig into the different flavors of AI-RAN, what would compel telecom operators to spring for GPUs and what the overall market forecast looks like.

AI isn’t just a compute story. It’s also a networking story. And today’s networks may not be up to the task. Agentic AI and the data pipelines required to feed those agents are set to bring a wave of traffic and strain to networks around the globe. So how can the industry solve this problem? We spoke with Dave Ward, currently CTO at Lumen Technologies and soon to be President and Chief Architect at Salesforce, as well as Paul Savill, who is Global Practice Leader of Networking and Edge Compute at Kyndryl, to get our arms around the problem. #AI #networking #datacenters #networks #AgenticAI

The Five Nine: Networks in the Era of AI

AWS walked into Las Vegas with a full house of cards. The cloud titan absolutely unloaded with a series of announcements spanning silicon, software and networking at its annual re:Invent conference. And the key takeaway? It’s not playing catchup on AI anymore…it’s leading the pack.

 

Fierce Network's Diana Goovaerts and Elizabeth Coyne sat down with Moor Insights and Strategy's Jason Andersen and Tekonyx Founder Sid Nag to dive into AWS' big announcements around AI factories, APIs, Interconnect and more.

First, there was machine learning. Then, generative AI. Now, we’re in the midst of the agentic AI revolution. But agentic AI is a waypoint rather than an endpoint. So, what’s next? The answer is physical AI. 

But what is physical AI, in practical terms? What is it good for, how mature is the technology, what kinds of networks will it need and how can we all prepare for what’s coming? Nvidia and Nokia have answers. #AI #PhysicalAI #networks #Nvidia #Nokia
