We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:
Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:
Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:
Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:
Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!
In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.
The Good, the Bad and the Fine-Tuned
Domain Specific Fine Tuned Model - Been working on a domain-specific LLM for telecom network operations - trained on real operational scenarios rather than standards documents.
The model uses a two-turn architecture: the first turn computes all KPIs explicitly from raw counter inputs, the second reasons over those derived values to produce the diagnosis. This separation keeps the arithmetic grounded and the analysis traceable.
Core capabilities:
- Multi-vendor RAN and Core PM counter analysis — Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, ZTE
- 5GC fault attribution at NF and interface level
CLI command generation for network element management
- Deep LTE and 5G NR protocol and procedure knowledge
- SON, EN-DC, and multi-vendor normalisation
- Anomaly detection, RCA etc
Can be used standalone or as a specialist execution layer within a larger agentic architecture — where a bigger model handles orchestration and intent, and this model handles the domain-specific analytical heavy lifting.
Designed to run entirely within your own infrastructure, no dependency on external APIs or cloud services. Of course requires GPUs.
Still evolving, but at a point worth sharing.
Two formats on HuggingFace:
Merged BF16 for vLLM/Inference Endpoints

GGUF for Ollama/llama.cpp:

Quantised version can run on CPU but it's very slow. I have generally tested it on Nvidia L4 for functional tests.
Model card has the full training breakdown and example prompts. If you work with these counters, would value your thoughts.

"System of Record (SoR) agents are the missing layer in enterprise data.
Not better SQL. Not smarter dashboards. Agents that understand semantic reality across your fragmented systems and actually know which data to trust when.

Appreciate if Indian government start EVisa which was suspended for UK Nationals and especially British Indian are suffering a lot due to such suspension.
