Understanding telecoms application providers’ GenAI model implementation strategies

The cost of developing and operating generative AI (GenAI) applications is one of the top three challenges that telecoms application providers must address. Providers must fully understand the four options for GenAI model implementation in order to ensure the maximum return on investment.

This report provides:

• an overview of the cost challenges that telecoms application providers face when developing GenAI applications
• an analysis of the four GenAI model implementations strategies that support the development and operation of GenAI applications
• an outline of the benefits and risks of all four GenAI model implementation strategies
• a breakdown of the costs linked to the four GenAI model implementation strategies.
