A key highlight is the introduction of the OpenSlice MCP Backend, enabling local LLM deployments that offer full data sovereignty and private model fine‑tuning. Combined with enhancements to the MCP Server, this AI foundation powers the new OpenSlice AI Assistant, providing a chat‑based interface to access platform tools securely and efficiently.
The release also implements Agentic Orchestration, allowing OpenSlice to coordinate internal and external agents throughout a service lifecycle. This bridges the gap between intent and execution, supporting more autonomous and adaptive network behaviour.
Strengthening its Telco Cloud layer, OpenSlice introduces GITER, a lightweight controller that uses Git for asynchronous coordination across distributed or intermittently connected environments. A new native controller for Nokia’s Network‑as‑Code (NaC) platform ensures seamless integration by mapping NaC entities to TMF Resource Specifications.
In addition, a prototype TMF Product UI enhances product modelling by linking business logic to underlying cloud‑native controllers. A new repository of ready‑to‑deploy blueprints, including a full 5G Core, simplifies onboarding for new users.
