Abstract:We present Open Telco (OTel), an open telecom AI resource that releases derived telecom datasets for retrieval, reranking, instruction tuning, and safety/abstention, together with 30 full-parameter post-trained baselines spanning 10 embedding models, 3 rerankers, and 17 language models. The community has already engaged substantially with the resource: as of May 3, 2026, the released models have been downloaded over 16 million times and the project has received 157+ pieces of media coverage worldwide. Building on prior open telecom datasets and benchmarks, OTel provides documented telecom data sources, held-out evaluation partitions, trained embedding models, rerankers, context-grounded LLMs, and safety/abstention data in one unified resource. Each baseline starts from an open-weight model and is post-trained on OTel-derived data using an open training recipe, then evaluated on held-out OTel evaluation partitions. OTel post-training improves performance across all three model families: embedding retrieval reaches 93.1% NDCG@10, reranking reaches 0.947 MRR@10, and language-model correctness reaches 87.8%. We release OTel as a reproducible starting point and invite the community to expand the data, improve embedding and reranking models, and build stronger context-grounded telecom LLMs.
