Our 6G-XCEL team did a powerful demo at EuCnC &6G Summit 2025. The demo highlighted a real-time use case where the system collects real-time data from a live 5G O-RAN deployment and uses an LLM to make slice-level resource allocation decisions. While the demonstration is focused on a 5G/6G use case, the underlying framework, powered […]
