Google is recruiting hundreds of engineers to help clients implement AI, highlighting the practical challenges. Cloud has established a new "Frontier Deployment Engineer" team to provide more technical resources for clients. Industry trends also include OpenAI co-establishing deployment units with consulting/investment firms, and Anthropic forming a joint venture; Google is also negotiating with Blackstone, KKR, and EQT to provide AI model access for their portfolio companies. Despite the rapid growth in revenue for frontier AI companies, the number of human consultants is also increasing, indicating that deploying AI into production environments remains difficult.

Blackstone's people, after gaining access to the model, probably will first use the invested companies as test subjects.
