The cost and time required for certain IT projects have drastically (10x) reduced due to AI integration 2. The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is the "hottest new job in AI" FDEs are software engineers embedded onsite with clients 3. While many still use OpenAI, models like Claude and Gemini Pro currently dominate for coding tasks. Additionally, powerful models from China (Kimmy-K2-Thinking - open-weight; Qwen3-max-Thinking) are beating competitors like GPT-5 and even Claude 4.5 in some areas ----- ### Quotes 1. jobs that used to cost $200,000 now can be done for $20,000 and time frames went down from 6 months to 6 weeks 2. Coding is a verifiable domain with fast feedback loops where developers are both builders and consumers creating a virtuous cycle 3. FDE is the hottest new job in AI. So what is FDE? Forward deployed engineer --- ### Summary: A key theme is the dramatic reduction in the cost and timeframe for IT projects, with a shift away from large companies towards more flexible, entrepreneurial smaller firms Weekly highlights included major deals, such as OpenAI's $38$ Billion agreement with AWS, and **Microsoft's $15.2 Billion investment in the UAE China started selling a room-temperature quantum computer, and Google introduced its own servers with Axion CPUs and Ironwood TPUs Claude is highlighted as dominating the coding leaderboard while new open-weight models like Kimmy-K2-Thinking are pushing the boundaries of multi-agent workflows Abacus AI DeepAgent for computer tasks automation is excellent --- ### Keywords: Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), Cloud, Cost Reduction, AWS Trainium, Claude, Qwen3-Max-Thinking, Kimmy-K2-Thinking, Abacus AI DeepAgent, OpenAI, AWS, Quantum Computer, Energy Shortages, Diffusion Models, Microsoft Agent Lightning Platform, YouTube Super Resolution, GPT-OSS Safeguard, Apple Siri, Gemini, GitHub MCP Registry, Supervised Reinforcement Learning (SRL), Google Project Suncatcher, Reflection.AI.
