Track; not yet
- Why
- Specs are released and active (R1 v11.00, A1 studies) with named AI/ML lifecycle APIs, but conflict mitigation and cross-RIC portability are pre-normative and Open RAN economics still trail integrated RAN, so AI-RAN value is not yet bankable.
- Next
- Monitor A1 policy-conflict and partial-enforcement studies graduating from study to normative spec, watch R1 conformance/interop test results across RIC vendors, and validate the claimed 10-15% RIC spectral-efficiency gains against vendor-neutral data before committing to any AI-RAN rApp integration assumption.
