OpenAI Agents Mug Hugging Face; Fortinet Picks Intel for Custom Silicon

Network Break

[SPEAKER_A] Take a Network Break! I'm Drew Conway Murray.

[SPEAKER_B] I'm Scott Robohn.

[SPEAKER_A] Johna's away and Scott has graciously agreed to provide the virtual donuts in her stead. There you go. Today we've got new security AI models from Cisco, Arista beefing up its SD-WAN, Intel and Fortinet partnering on chips, Intel financial results, OpenAI models running amok, and more. We'll pause for a minute for a message from our sponsor.

[SPEAKER_C] Sponsor iTential's Flow AI delivers agentic operations for infrastructure. Meaning easily build AI agents that actually work the way engineers need them to, governed, deterministic, and built for production. Add intelligent automations to your network operations without the usual AI chaos. Find out more at itential.com/flowai. That is itential.com/flowai.

[SPEAKER_A] And just a reminder, if you like Network Break!, there are a whole bunch of other podcasts, including Day 2 DevOps, Heavy Networking, IPv6 Buzz, Network Automation Nerds, and of course, Total Network Operations. Scott, that's the podcast you do. Tell us a little bit about it.

[SPEAKER_B] Yeah. Total Network Operations. The information is right there in the title. We like to talk about everything that really focuses on people in the operator chair, right? It's the, you know, they don't get enough love, they don't get enough attention. We're here to fix that.

[SPEAKER_A] Excellent.

[SPEAKER_B] Yeah.

[SPEAKER_A] And all of that is available at packetpushers.net. I am skipping the Red Alert because frankly, I ran out of time. Apologies if you were champing at the bit to hear the latest Red Alert, but I'm sure you can find lots of problems online to go have to fix.

[SPEAKER_C] Don't wait.

[SPEAKER_B] There are things coming today that I think we could call red alerts, can't we?
