@cipheriousxyz What tool is this?

[Andrew Ng @AndrewYNg]

One of the new, buzzy jobs in Silicon Valley is the AI Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), an engineer who is embedded within a client organization to help customize solutions, such as building and tuning agentic workflows that suit the client’s particular needs. I’ve heard from people who are wondering anew about the FDE career path since OpenAI and Anthropic started building new teams to place FDEs within client organizations.

The rise of FDEs for AI workloads is one way AI is creating new jobs (and why the jobpolcalypse narrative of upcoming job market collapse is false -- there will be many AI and non-AI jobs). However, I believe there will be far more AI Engineer jobs than FDEs, as I explain below.

The FDE role was pioneered about two decades ago by Palantir, which sent engineers to government locations to work on secure, air-gapped networks. In addition to having good technical skills, FDEs need communication skills and sometimes business skills. For example, they may need to speak with clients to understand their needs, formulate a strategy to prioritize projects, explain complex technology, and respectfully push back if a client asks for something unrealistic. They’re enjoying a resurgence because of the amount of work involved in taking an off-the-shelf LLM and building it into a custom agentic workflow that fits particular business needs.

However, I believe the number of AI Engineer jobs will be far larger. A company might accept a few FDEs to be embedded within its organization. But most companies will want far more of their own employees working on their projects. While my organizations do hire FDEs, we hire far more AI Engineers! Also, a common client concern is that it is hard to find vendor-neutral FDEs — they are, after all, there to deeply integrate a particular vendor’s product into a company. In this moment when it’s hard to predict which AI service will be the best one in a year’s time, optionality (the ability to pick whatever vendor turns out to fit best in the future) is very valuable. In contrast, letting FDEs tightly bind a company’s processes significantly reduces optionality.

Right now, I see surging demand for AI Engineers who can build software applications using AI software components (like LLM prompting, agentic frameworks, evals, etc.) and effectively use AI coding agents (like Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, and OpenCode). As the AI Engineer role matures, I expect it to fragment into more specialized roles, like the generic Software Engineer role from decades ago fragmented into frontend, backend, mobile, data engineering, devops, and so on.

What will be the future, specialized AI engineering roles? I don’t know. Perhaps there will be AI FDEs, LLMOps Engineers, Evals Engineers, AI Data Engineers, Harness Engineers, and other roles we don’t have names for yet. But for now, I see a lot of AI engineers who are generalists create a lot of value. Skilled AI Engineers are in very high demand! As our field continues to mature over the coming decade, I look forward to new specializations within AI Engineering that create even more job opportunities.

@mlhobbyist @michael_mzl Not really, I have a couple of friends in the SRE division (Meta calls it production engineer) who were let go. Some where literally employed last month

@notkosta5 @WatcherGuru There ain't no new grad roles at those firms

you can outsource your thinking
but you cannot outsource your understanding

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@LudiFabulas @RadioGenoa Du bist ein schreckliches Wesen. Es bereitet dir also so viel Befriedigung, Menschen zu töten. Gott sei Dank sind die Menschen, die tatsächlich Entscheidungen treffen, gebildet und vernünftig. Du verdienst es nicht, unter Menschen zu leben. Du bist eine Schande.

@Peace64All @joshxhowie @MayorofLondon For you guys even think before you post? Do you know what a Zionist is? The media has so damaged you get you throw away words you know nothing about. Gosh!!! The shear ignorance is just disgusting

@shawncbrown @salingergregor The same Spanish government that recognised palaestine as a state? You must be on some opium

They and their accomplice are already reminiscing it. So bad.

@__mr_peabody @jt_stamford Anyone with some form of above average intelligence would find a way to answer that call at a later time. One hour long call on loud speaker in a train with other commuters is definitely not something a smart person will do

The hypocrites that chant for Hamas and the Islamic regime of Iran are all silent today, but an innocent 21 year old, who's only crime was seeking for a better nation, was murdered by the terrorist sponsoring government. That's Iranian patriot, Sasan Azadvar.

The manager who gave a coding agent direct prod write access without a confirmation gate is the actual story to be looked into

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

NEW: A Cursor AI coding agent deleted a startup's entire production database in 9 seconds. The agent, powered by Claude, was working on a staging task, found a broadly scoped API token, and executed a volume delete without confirmation. It later confessed in detail, admitting it guessed and violated safety rules.

PocketOS, which powers car rental businesses, lost months of bookings data.

In short, the AI agent rouge.

You freaking hypocrite. How do you explain hating the west, calling POTUS a pedophile etc, then you expect to get "payed" by a western platform? You Muslim extremists never seize to amaze me.

In a major win for Americans, 17 of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies are now offering the LOWEST drug prices in history — and the FDA has just approved a new drug that cures a rare form of deafness.

President Trump is putting patients first. MUST WATCH. 🇺🇸
