Mavenir & Red Hat Launch AI Platform for Network Operators

Mavenir and Red Hat have launched an Integrated AI Platform. This platform allows network operators to monetize artificial intelligence. Here's how it works: operators can offer AI services to their subscribers and enterprise customers through token-based consumption plans. This approach mirrors how they already bill for mobile data, giving them control over pricing and service level agreements. The platform uses Red Hat AI on Kubernetes infrastructure, powered by Red Hat OpenShift. This provides a flexible architecture for operators. They can use on-premises models and custom-built small language models for various tasks. They can also connect to frontier models for more complex needs. What's interesting is that operators decide which model handles each request, who pays for it, and how it's billed. This platform aims to help operators capture new revenue streams in the global AI services market.
