Hey Reader, A lot happens when you spend more time traveling around and working with enterprise teams. The questions I hear are changing. A year ago, it was: "What model should we use?" Now it's more specific. What to build, why, plus people and teams. "How do we build internal AI capability?" "How do we evaluate these systems?" "How do we move from experimentation to production?" Leading companies with their AI solutions fully in production are the ones investing in their people. That's why...

Hey Reader, The countdown to The AI Engineer Certification v1.0 has officially started.

LEARN SOMETHING NEW! Claude Agent Skills The hottest new skill in 2026? Skill Engineering. So meta. But what are agent skills? "Just README.md files with a little bit of YAML," but they make for some seriously next-level, on-the-fly context engineering. Although "Skills" are not yet an OSS capability across frameworks, we expect them to be. 🎥 Video 💻 Slides 🐙 Sample skills LIVE THIS WEEK! How to Build ChatGPT - Part V: Thinking & Deep Research Join us live tomorrow at 1:00 PM ET to learn how...

COMING UP! Claude Agent Skills Join us live today at 1:00 PM ET to break down Claude Agent Skills, which bring domain-specific expertise to general-purpose agents. Instead of relying on code or function calls, these “skills” use prompt expansion and context modification, letting Claude dynamically load only what’s needed to specialize for a task. It’s like giving your AI an onboarding guide, turning Claude into a fast, adaptable specialist for any domain. RSVP NOW! EVENT RECAPS Deep Agents,...
