Meet the Cisco Deep Network Model: Trained by the Experts, Purpose-Built for the Network

Imagine a world where networks aren’t just managed but truly understood. A world where troubleshooting is intuitive, configurations are seamless, and automation feels effortless. With Cisco’s new deep network model, this vision becomes reality. It represents a groundbreaking leap in networking technology: a purpose-built large language model (LLM) that is transforming network operations, redefining how engineers troubleshoot, and shaping the agentic era.

Not Just Another LLM

The deep network model isn’t just another AI model; it’s a networking revolution. Trained on decades of Cisco expertise, real-world troubleshooting experience, and annotated reasoning paths, it understands networks in a way no general-purpose LLM can.

• Purpose-Built for Networking: Unlike traditional models, the deep network model is specifically designed for networking tasks. It has up to 20% more accurate reasoning for troubleshooting, configuration, and automation compared to leading general-purpose LLMs. This precision means fewer errors, faster resolutions, and more robust networks.
• Trusted Training: The Cisco deep network model is built on a foundation of Cisco U courseware and CCIE-level knowledge comprised of over 40 years of operational insight. The model has been trained on over 40M tokens, and Cisco experts have contributed more than 3000 reasoning traces, meticulously annotating and validating each layer of logic.
• Continuous Learning: Networks are always evolving, and so is the deep network model. With reinforcement learning, the model consistently adapts with new data and real-world Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and Customer Experience (CX) insights.

Powering the Agentic Ops Era

The deep network model is more than a tool—it’s the backbone of AgenticOps, a new paradigm in network operations. In this era, real-time data translates into real-time outcomes, and the deep network model is at the heart of it all.

Introducing Cisco AI Canvas

AI Canvas is where AgenticOps comes to life, and the deep network model shines. It’s a shared workspace where every domain comes together—network, cloud, security, observability, collaboration—all in one real-time view. But more than that, it’s where AI stops assisting… and starts operating. Built on the foundation of the deep network model, AI Canvas redefines how humans and AI work together to accomplish more.

Meet Cisco AI Assistant

Embedded within AI Canvas, the Cisco AI Assistant leverages the power of the deep network model to become a trusted partner for network engineers. It doesn’t just provide answers; it offers actionable insights, walking you through diagnostics, decisions, and resolutions—all grounded in live telemetry and years of networking expertise.

Together, AI Canvas and AI Assistant create a system that can see, reason, and act across every domain, empowering teams to deliver outcomes faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Constantly Learning, Always Adapting

The deep network model is not static; it sets a new industry standard for precision and expertise through continuous advancements and ongoing refinement. As the model gains deeper insights, it will master the nuances of the entire Cisco ecosystem, unlocking new possibilities for network management and optimization to adapt to evolving business needs. The deep network model will redefine what’s possible in network management, troubleshooting, and automation, empowering IT professionals to achieve more, act faster, and revolutionize the network.

Many of the products and features mentioned are still in development and will be made available as they are finalized, subject to ongoing evolution in development and innovation. The timeline for their release is subject to change
