PHYSIX OBSERVATION

By building its own academy, Anthropic is turning customer-company engineers into deployment nodes within its own ecosystem. The bottleneck for AI deployment has shifted from models to implementation talent that understands the business, and whoever mass-produces this kind of talent first will build a channel moat in the enterprise market.
