What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
Strongest momentum of the three (real silicon, $1B deal, named carriers), but ARC-Pro is pre-GA and the AI-RAN efficiency thesis is conditional and now openly contested by peers. No adoptable surface for pragma.vision - relevant only as an infrastructure-trend signal.
Next
Watch T-Mobile/Nokia 2026 field-validation results for net efficiency and TCO data, and the GPU-vs-CPU AI-RAN debate, before treating AI-RAN as a proven substrate.
