ZTE and China Telecom Guangdong advance cross‑vendor IP network simulation pilots, paving the way for intelligent network operations

PARTNER CONTENT: Leveraging >95% digital twin fidelity and multi-vendor collaboration to eliminate network change risks and achieve zero-error O&M

ZTE announced that China Telecom Guangdong has officially released the E‑Surfing Simulation 2.0 – Cross‑Vendor IP Network Simulation Standard at the Talent & Expertise Development Forum (Peizhi Talent Empowerment Initiative) hosted by the company.

Built on the joint simulation system co-developed by ZTE and China Telecom Guangdong, the standard applies digital twin technology to form a closed‑loop workflow from change submission through simulation verification to implementation authorization. This marks a pivotal shift of network O&M from experience‑reliant manual work to systematic pre‑verification. The solution has become a replicable benchmark for multi‑vendor collaborative simulation in the telecommunications industry, serving as a milestone to accelerate the rollout of intelligent network operations across the sector.

Architect Labs raises $24M to let any company design its own AI chip

Designing a chip is hard. It takes years, hundreds of millions of dollars, and a tiny pool of experts. Most of them sit inside a few large companies. Architect Labs wants to change that with AI. The Palo Alto startup left stealth on Thursday with a $24mn seed round. Its
