AI engineering for telecom
How to ship LLM and ML systems into the operator workflow without breaking things
For: RAN engineers learning ML/AI. Assumes deep telco knowledge; assumes Python literacy.
- 01
Where LLMs belong in a RAN team
The 5 tasks they're actually good at; the 3 tasks they're not.
~15 min○ planned - 02
RAG for network knowledge
Embedding telco specs, hybrid retrieval, why cross-encoder re-ranking matters here.
~25 min○ planned - 03
Detector design — heuristic to ML to LLM
When to use thresholds, when ML, when LLM reasoning. With three worked examples.
~25 min○ planned - 04
Eval-driven detector development
How to grade detectors before shipping; model-graded vs golden-set evals.
~22 min○ planned - 05
Agents and orchestration
Multi-agent vs single-LLM-with-tools, when each wins, how to wire them.
~22 min○ planned - 06
Cost and latency — the operator-grade view
Local models on Ollama/vLLM vs cloud APIs, when each is the right answer.
~18 min○ planned - 07
Safety for autonomous network change
Why "the model said so" isn't enough, the 6-layer safety stack pattern.
~25 min○ planned - 08
Observability for AI systems
Langfuse, prompt regression catches, agent_run audit trails.
~18 min○ planned - 09
Data pipelines for PM/CM/FM at scale
Parser, dedup, ROP-boundary alignment, vendor abstraction.
~25 min○ planned - 10
Going to production with operators
Pilot scope, change windows, rollback, the human-in-the-loop reality.
~20 min○ planned
