Anthropic launched Claude Frontier Academy with a $100M commitment to train 10,000 enterprise “Frontier Deployed Engineers” by end-2027; cohorts include Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley and Novo Nordisk. The residency has engineers build and security-review a real use case with Anthropic support, signaling a push to solve the implementation/talent bottleneck for production agentic systems, not just sell model access. These are company-reported program goals and partner participation. Source: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-frontier-academy
GitHub deprecated Gemini 3.5/3.6 Flash, Kimi K2.7 Code, and Claude Opus 4.7 across Copilot chat, inline edits, agent modes, and completions on Oct. 2, recommending Gemini 3.8 Flash, Kimi K3, and Opus 5.5. Enterprise admins may need to adjust model policies; this is a concrete model-lifecycle/availability change for agent integrations and saved workflows.
