Anthropic is making a $100 million bet on deployed AI engineers, and it seeks 5 key attributes

Forward-deployed engineers are all the rage in AI, and Anthropic is going to other companies to train up top talent. The AI company announced a $100 million investment into an FDE training initiative earlier this month. It's a quasi-fellowship that engineers from other firms have already begun applying for. They'll attend four-day on-site intensives and then complete 12-week "residencies" working with Anthropic's Claude tools at their own companies. The company says it hopes to train 10,000 people through the program by the end of 2027.
