Testing phase begins for TelecomGPT
Khalifa University's 6G Centre build's chat website for TelecomGPT
#UAE #TelecomGPT - The 6G Centre of Khalifa University (KU) in Abu Dhabi have unveiled TelecomGPT-Chat, a chat interface for the first-of-its-kind large language model (LLM) tailored specifically for the telecom sector. A joint KU-TII research project, TelecomGPT aims to provide telecom operators, telecom vendors, standardisation bodies and telecom researchers with a valuable LLM for day-to-day usage. TelecomGPT-Chat now allows telecom professionals to participate in a testing phase, helping to shape the future of this pioneering GenAI tool.
SO WHAT? - Few telecom-specific large language models have been developed for what is a knowledge-rich area of science and technology. Announced during the 6G Summit Abu Dhabi, TelecomGPT is particularly relevant to the ongoing effort to develop and define 6G standards. Researchers around the world, including in the UAE, are collaborating on highly complex concepts to define future standards for sixth generation mobile networks. As the industry races to define 6G standards, TelecomGPT could help enhance workflows and decision-making for telecom professionals, supporting and even accelerating the development of the new standard.
Here are some key points about TelecomGPT-Chat:
TelecomGPT-Chat has now gone live online, providing a way for telecom professionals and researchers to help test the TelecomGPT large language model, developed by the 6G Centre at Khalifa University.
The new chat interface for TelecomGPT was announced during the 6G Summit Abu Dhabi, emphasising its suitability to support 6G researchers.
The researchers first announced TelecomGPT in July, publishing a research paper “TelecomGPT: A Framework to Build Telecom-Specfic Large Language Models”.
TelecomGPT-Chat is now accessible to telecom professionals who can explore and test the platform’s features, giving them firsthand experience with AI capabilities designed specifically for the telecom sector, whilst helping to shape the development of the LLM.
Unlike generic AI tools, TelecomGPT-Chat has been fine-tuned to handle telecom-specific queries. Its training is based on a comprehensive telecom data set, supporting day-to-day industry needs with enhanced precision and depth.
TelecomGPT has shown superior performance on the Telecom Math Modeling benchmark, surpassing renowned LLMs such as GPT-4, Llama-3, and Mistral, underscoring its specialised capabilities.
The feedback gathered from early adopters will influence TelecomGPT’s ongoing refinement, ensuring that it meets telecom industry standards and delivers value for broader market adoption.
As the UAE targets a 2030 goal for 6G implementation, TelecomGPT can support both local and global stakeholders in refining 6G standards and technologies, contributing to advancements in high-speed, low-latency communication.
ZOOM OUT - The UAE is playing an out-sized role in the research and development of 6G standards, and so it is not insignificant that TelecomGPT-Chat was announced during the 6G Summit Abu Dhabi. The summit is one of a number of conferences organised in the UAE, to bring together leading telecom experts from academia, industry, and government to foster collaboration, share insights, and drive the development of 6G technology. The UAE aims to become one of the first nations in the world to implement 6G in 2030, and it has become a willing and active stakeholder in helping to shape 6G standards. Khalifa University’s 6G centre is at the heart of 6G research in the UAE.
