Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched a new internal organization dedicated to AI-focused forward-deployed engineers (FDEs). This new group, backed by $1 billion in internal resources, will embed engineers within client companies to deploy AI agents and foster customer self-sufficiency. The FDE model, popularized by Palantir, involves temporary embedding of external engineers to manage AI deployments, transferring skills and workflows to the client. This move follows similar initiatives by OpenAI and Anthropic, who have also established FDE ventures. AI
