Anthropic funds $100M academy to train deployed AI engineers

Anthropic is investing $100 million to fund a new academy designed to train deployed artificial intelligence engineers. Dubbed the Claude Academy, the initiative focuses on forward deployed engineers, reflecting an environment where the role has emerged as one of the most coveted in the ongoing race across the artificial intelligence sector.[1][2]

The first cohort of the training program will draw engineers from several prominent global consulting and professional services firms. Those participating in the inaugural group include engineers from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Deloitte, and McKinsey as part of Anthropic's deployment-focused educational effort.[1]

Google Announces Gemini 4 Flagship AI Model After Months Of Delays

Alphabet’s Google on Wednesday announced a new top-tier artificial intelligence model to anchor its Gemini 4 generation of models in a fresh bid to catch up to rivals Anthropic and OpenAI in the AI race. The new model, “Argon”, is larger in size than Google’s previous line of advanced “Pro” models, a company spokesperson said. “It’s our most performant model yet built for complex workloads, and we see it comparable to frontier models like (OpenAI’s) Astra and (Anthropic’s) Opus on key coding and cyber benchmarks,” the spokesperson said. Google said it was providing the model to select cybersecurity partners and was participating in the Trump administration’s voluntary process for pre-release model access. It did not provide a timeline for the model’s public release. The model posted better

OpenAI safety employee quits, says 'time for trial and error is over'

A former OpenAI safety employee who recently resigned criticized the company’s approach to AI safety, arguing that a fast-paced culture focused on rapid development increases the risk of failures. Writing in “I Quit OpenAI Because Its Culture Is Broken,” published by the Atlantic on Saturday, David Robinson said AI companies, including OpenAI, were not being “nearly careful enough” and should place greater emphasis on safety expertise and research before developing more capable systems. “The time for trial and error ⁠is over,” Robinson wrote, arguing that advanced AI systems require safeguards more akin to those used in industries such as nuclear power and aviation. Robinson said OpenAI relies heavily on what it calls “iterative deployment,” releasing systems and strengthening safeguards w
