#Claude is on pace to possibly overtake #ChatGPT by August or September 2026.

@DougMadory crunched actual network traffic, and the trajectory is clear. Claude has seen traffic increase significantly since January. The race is on. 📈

"It's answering questions in a matter of seconds instead of hours."

We spoke with engineering leaders from @Midcontinent, @metronet, and @ConwayCorp about how Kentik AI Advisor is changing their workflows.

In their words, "It frees up my engineers to do the real engineering."

From 10% CDN ➡️ 90% CDN. 📉

@Midcontinent uses Kentik to monitor live events (like the @SuperBowl) and automate capacity planning reports to track committed rates and burst costs.

"It's freeing up my engineers to do the real engineering."

Watch the case study. 👇

AI doesn't only equal #ChatGPT 🤖

If we limit our view of #AI to LLMs or chatbots alone, we miss the point. In NetOps, AI is a range of techniques from statistical baselining to predictive modeling.

#LLMs are just the newest member of the family.
