Bryan Lee(@_brylee10):at AC i’ve learned forward deployed work is among my favorite. a personal favorite memory was getting a high five from a customer after a day in the office and a successful prod deployment. closely collaborating with companies and diving into the nitty-gritty of their systems to make agents work is challenging but rewarding. it’s “full stack” in the sense it involves a eng, research, and understanding customer needs which makes each day different and gets me excited.

There is a large delta between what models can do and what they deliver in company-specific workflows. We bridge that gap through forward deployment. In a given week, our engineers might build eval frameworks from scratch, deploy a large-scale context ingestion engine, and present results to F500 leadership. We fine-tune models on proprietary data no frontier lab has seen and optimize agent performance against real-world outcomes. We're excited by engineers with rigor, high customer empathy, and a bias toward action in ambiguity.
