Most AI Engineers today don't train models. They build systems around them. By 2023, the dominant pattern had flipped: instead of training custom classifiers, most teams call a foundation model like Claude, GPT, or Gemini and get in one request what used to take a data science team months. That shift didn't eliminate engineering work — it relocated it. The hard problems moved from "how do we train a model that generalizes" to "how do we design, orchestrate, evaluate, secure, and operate a system built on a model we don't control and can't fully inspect." AI Engineering Foundations is a ...
