The AI Telco Troubleshooting Challenge invites global teams to submit AI models focused on root cause analysis, edge deployment, and explainability to improve network resilience. Organized by ETSI, GSMA, IEEE GenAINet, ITU, and TM Forum, the competition evaluates entrants on accuracy, efficiency, and security using curated datasets like TeleLogs. Headline partners including Huawei and AT&T support the initiative, which aims to accelerate the adoption of small language models for autonomous network operations. Submissions are open from November 28, 2025, until February 1, 2026, with winners to be announced at MWC26 Barcelona.
