Khalifa University is among a few major global technology and research institutions that support Open-Telco LLM Benchmarks – a new community launched by mobile industry body GSMA that aims to improve the performance of AI models for telecom-specific applications.
The community is also supported by Hugging Face, and The Linux Foundation, along with a host of telecoms operators, including Deutsche Telekom, LG Uplus, SK Telecom, Turkcell, and telecom vendor Huawei.
The benchmark aims to provide an open-source evaluation framework to assess AI models in the telecom industry.
The framework will focus on real-world performance, and holistic AI assessment. In the UAE, Khalifa University already leads the committee established by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) to expedite adoption of 6G.
This committee also includes manufacturers, and telecom operators, and is expected to facilitate scientific studies, research, and the development of technical standards and specifications for 6G.
