Abstract
An example embodiment concisely summarizes impact and dependencies between network devices in order to reduce token counts for providing topology information to an AI model for context. The example embodiment provides a minimal amount of relevant information for context when requesting a generative AI model to produce recommendations with respect to troubleshooting and resolving network issues.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, via at least one processor, a request for assessing an impact of an action on a network device of a network environment;
- generating, via a large language model of the at least one processor, a query for context information based on the request;
- retrieving, via the at least one processor, the context information based on the query, wherein the context information is associated with topology of the network environment;
- and
- processing the request and the context information, via the large language model of the at least one processor, to produce a result for the request indicating the impact of the action on the network environment.
An apparatus comprising:
- a computer device;
- memory;
- and
- at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for assessing an impact of an action on a network device of a network environment;
- generating, via a large language model, a query for context information based on the request;
- retrieving the context information based on the query, wherein the context information is associated with topology of the network environment;
- and
- processing the request and the context information, via the large language model, to produce a result for the request indicating the impact of the action on the network environment.
One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with processing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for assessing an impact of an action on a network device of a network environment;
- generating, via a large language model, a query for context information based on the request;
- retrieving the context information based on the query, wherein the context information is associated with topology of the network environment;
- and
- processing the request and the context information, via the large language model, to produce a result for the request indicating the impact of the action on the network environment.
