Context Length: An AI 'Nerd Knob' Every Network Engineer Should Know
Cisco, Friday, August 8th, 2025
Alright, my friends, I'm back with another post based on my learnings and exploration of AI and how it'll fit into our work as network engineers.
In today's post, I want to share the first (of what will likely be many) 'nerd knobs' that I think we all should be aware of and how they will impact our use of AI and AI tools. I can already sense the excitement in the room. After all, there's not much a network engineer likes more than tweaking a nerd knob in the network to fine-tune performance. And that's exactly what we'll be doing here. Fine-tuning our AI tools to help us be more effective.
