Navigating Large Language Models in Network Operations

This chapter examines the role of large language models (LLMs) in enhancing network operations, focusing on their capabilities, challenges, and practical applications. It discusses the importance of accurate data querying, the potential risks such as hallucinations, and the evolving responsibilities of network engineers in adapting to these AI technologies. The conversation also addresses the trade-offs in AI model deployment, including the pros and cons of local versus API-based solutions.
