What happened
Telecom operators are increasingly building their AI strategies on open models rather than closed proprietary offerings, and the rationale spans cost, control and customization. S1 According to NVIDIA's State of AI in Telecommunications report, 89% of respondents reported that open source models and software are important to their company's AI strategy. S1 NVIDIA listed five strategic benefits: frontier-level intelligence at lower cost, telco-specific customization via open weights and training recipes, trustworthy AI with visible model artifacts, flexible deployment across public cloud, private infrastructure and edge, and the ability to deliver locally adapted enterprise and government AI services. S1 NVIDIA also cited the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3.2 as evidence that leading open models are increasingly competitive on reasoning, coding, scientific and agentic benchmarks. S1
NVIDIA, SoftBank and AdaptKey have begun turning that strategy into shipping artifacts. NVIDIA released a 30-billion-parameter Nemotron 3 Large Telco Model (LTM) fine-tuned by AdaptKey on open source telecom datasets, positioning it as an open baseline for telecom terminology and operations workflows such as network configuration and customer incident triage. S1 Rajeev Koodli, principal fellow of SoftBank Corp., said SoftBank is "using open foundations extensively, including NVIDIA Nemotron models and others, in developing our SoftBank Large Telecom Model." S1 NVIDIA also published the end-to-end NeMo fine-tuning recipe for adapting open models to operator-specific networks and procedures. S1
The platform layer is built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, covering data pipelines, open models, agent orchestration, secure runtimes and simulation. S1 Andy Markus, chief data and AI officer of AT&T, framed the operator's approach as "intelligently matching every workload to the right combination of performance, cost and control." S1 Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison's Sahabat-AI family of open source models was cited as a localization case study, with chief data and AI officer Chirag Sukhadia stating that open models allow Indonesia to "build AI that understands Indonesia."

XAIPART take
Technical impact
The 30B-parameter Nemotron 3 LTM fine-tuned by AdaptKey targets two of the highest-friction operator workflows: network configuration reasoning and customer incident triage. For design and integration engineers, the published NeMo recipe matters more than the model card, because it standardizes the data preparation, fine-tune and evaluation pipeline that an OEM or system integrator would otherwise rebuild. XAIPART analysis
Market impact
Eighty-nine percent of surveyed operators flagging open models as strategically important reshapes the procurement short list for telecom AI infrastructure: closed-model-only stacks now sit alongside mixed open/closed deployments rather than dominating them. For component buyers, that tilts spend toward NVIDIA AI Enterprise licenses, NeMo tooling, and the GPUs that host these 30B-parameter fine-tunes; closed-API line items become a smaller share of telco AI BOMs. XAIPART analysis
Action
Procurement teams evaluating telco AI platforms should request explicit reference architectures mixing the Nemotron 3 LTM baseline with operator-specific fine-tunes, confirm NVIDIA AI Enterprise license scope (production rights vs. dev/test), and validate that NeMo-based pipelines can run on the GPU SKUs already in their long-term roadmap to avoid stranded hardware.

XAIPART Forecast
XAIPART expects at least two additional tier-1 telecom operators beyond SoftBank, AT&T and Indosat to publicly disclose a Nemotron-based open-model production deployment within 9 months of ; if no second operator outside this named trio announces a production Nemotron 3 LTM deployment by , this forecast is wrong.
