The firm hosted JC Christian, president of an AI-focused recruiting firm, for an investor call to discuss the scarcity of elite forward deployed engineers compared to data centers or chips.
Christian’s firm conducted a 6-month study spanning 250+ C-suite interviews and analysis of 300+ AI professionals and forward deployed engineers. Truist views Palantir as structurally advantaged, having pioneered the forward deployed engineer model and having trained approximately 80% of all elite forward deployed engineers.

NVIDIA today announced that Groq 3 LPX, its interactive AI inference accelerator, is now in full production.
$NBIS was named as the first AI cloud to adopt.
Groq 3 LPX extends NVIDIA's Vera Rubin platform and is built for ultrafast token generation, targeting agentic AI workloads where latency matters.
In Artificial Analysis benchmarking, it reached a record 3,400 output tokens per second running Gemma 4 31B with a 100K-token context, while NVIDIA says it can deliver 4x faster responsiveness for agents and latency-sensitive workloads vs. the nearest alternative platform.
Nebius plans to bring Groq 3 LPX to Nebius Token Factory, giving developers access to the accelerator through its production inference platform and existing API.
