The AI landscape is changing so fast that the best partners aren’t the ones with the perfect plan. They’re the ones who stay alert to what’s next, and then move when they know. At @CRN's XChange Best of Breed 2026 Conference, our CEO, Valerie Henderson, shared what we’ve learned building our @AnthropicAI practice. Staying alert meant committing early to Anthropic and building a dedicated practice around Claude. Moving dynamically has meant starting customers with shorter Claude engagements, learning alongside them, and changing course when something isn’t working. Today, about 1,400 of our people hold Anthropic certifications. Thank you to Joseph Kovar and @CRN for the story, and to @TheChannelCo for hosting. Read the full article 👉 hubs.li/Q04Bt58t0

@awscloud and @AnthropicAI are racing to deploy an army of specialized engineers to prove AI spending will pay off. In @CNBC’s recent article, the focus is on the push to put forward deployed engineers (FDEs) to work inside enterprises, with Big Tech now spending heavily to build the human workforce needed to prove AI investments are paying off. Our CEO, Val Henderson, shared her perspective on what makes the role so hard to fill: the ability to read a customer and navigate their organization is the toughest skill to teach, and there’s no shortcut for real-world experience. At Caylent, our FDEs embed with customers to turn AI investment into measurable returns faster, and that’s the approach behind work like: 🚀 @PennymacNews: our FDEs worked alongside their product and engineering teams on an AI-enabled mortgage servicing platform, with some engineering tasks completed up to 6x faster. 🚀 @SmarshInc: our partnership on their agentic SDLC helped them free $5M–$10M in engineering and product capacity to redirect to other work.

We’re proud to share that Caylent has been named in @FastCompany’s Eighth Annual List of the Best Workplaces for Innovators in the Emerging Enterprise: 201–999 Employees category! "Everything we do at Caylent, we do so our customers can move faster. AI isn't a feature we bolted onto professional services; it's the foundation we build on. For years our teams kept hitting the same friction, so instead of accepting it, they solved it. That's how Caylent Accelerate went from an idea to how we operate. Staying dynamic and experimenting isn't optional for us; it's what lets us keep showing up better for the people we serve. This recognition tells us that bet was the right one.” - Valerie Henderson, Chief Executive Officer Thank you to our incredible team for continuing to challenge what’s possible and helping make Caylent a place where innovation can thrive at every level. 🚀 Learn more 👉 hubs.li/Q04wZz230

98% of enterprise leaders say they would let AI agents run production under the right conditions. Caylent partnered with @censuswide to survey 200 senior enterprise leaders to map where agentic AI in engineering and cloud operations stands today. Our new report breaks down what's deployed, what's required to go further, and where the real resistance lives. Our findings show: 🚀 All respondents reported active engagement with agentic AI, and 59.5% of senior enterprise leaders say their organizations are already running AI agents autonomously in production, not in sandboxes or pilots. 🚀 Organizations are piloting, deploying, or actively evaluating automated testing (67.5%), automated incident response (60.5%), and agents writing and committing code autonomously (43%). 🚀 83% place guardrails on equal or higher footing than model intelligence when it comes to accelerating adoption Learn more 👉 hubs.li/Q04s5-_B0

Big congratulations to Brian Tarbox on being recognized as an @awscloud AI Hero! 🎉 AWS AI Heroes are recognized for advancing the AI and machine learning community by sharing knowledge, building with emerging Amazon AI technologies, and helping others implement AWS ML, generative AI, and agentic solutions. Over the years, Brian has done exactly that by sharing his expertise through technical blogs, speaking at AWS Summits, re:Invent, and AWS Community Days, along with leading webinars that help organizations better understand and adopt AI. His passion for learning, teaching, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI makes this recognition incredibly well deserved. Congratulations, Brian, on this outstanding achievement!

In agentic SDLC, the landscape is wide, but the central truth is simple: where you sit on the trail matters far less than knowing which way you are heading. As organizations adopt AI across the software development lifecycle, success comes down to how effectively they balance context and decision-making between humans and AI while evolving people, processes, and technology to support that shift. In our blog, Caylent’s Peter Sankauskas unpacks what it really takes to make agentic SDLC work in practice, and how teams can move forward without losing alignment or control.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Harness is changing the speed and simplicity of building AI agents on @awscloud by compressing weeks of infrastructure work into minutes of configuration. By abstracting orchestration, runtime, and observability, it enables teams to move faster from prototype to production-ready agents. In our blog, Caylent’s Guille Ojeda explores how Agentcore harness works, what capabilities it introduces in general availability, and where it delivers the most value in accelerating agent development on AWS.

The hard part of agentic AI is authority, not accuracy. In his latest article for @RTInsights, Caylent's CTO, Randall Hunt, explores why the biggest challenge in enterprise agentic AI isn’t model performance, but managing what agents are allowed to do. Randall shares practical recommendations for building safer AI agents, including treating agents as a principal, enforcing permissions outside the model, separating recommendation from execution, and designing workflows with containment and recovery in mind.

The hardest part of building AI agents isn't getting them to work, it's making them production-ready. Join Brian Tarbox and Chris Gonzalez at @awscloud Summit New York this week for their session "AgentCore DeepDive: Runtime and Security" and explore how Amazon Bedrock AgentCore helps teams move beyond prototypes by addressing the critical operational and security challenges of production AI agents. From deployment models and identity flows to authorization, sandboxing, Gateway security posture, and policy enforcement, this session will provide a practical look at what it takes to build enterprise-ready agentic systems on AWS.

Exciting news! Caylent is a launch Preferred partner in the @claudeai Partner Network! 🚀 With a long track record of helping enterprises move from pilot to production, this reflects the depth of Claude expertise we've built across Caylent. And earlier this year, we took that commitment even further with the launch of ACE (Anthropic Consulting & Engineering), a dedicated business unit built exclusively around Claude. This recognition deepens what we can deliver together and we’re excited to help our customers deploy Claude with greater confidence, capability, and support behind every engagement.

Everyone wants AI. Very few organizations know what to do on Monday morning. That's the gap we're helping customers close. We're hiring a small number of engineers, architects, and strategists into Caylent's Anthropic Business Unit to help define what AI transformation actually looks like in practice. job-boards.greenhouse.io/cay…

Join Guille Ojeda and Andres Moreno at the @awscloud Summit in Los Angeles on June 10 for their talk “The Unit Economics of AI Agents” to learn how to evaluate whether your agentic workflows are truly worth the cost. They’ll break down how to calculate the cost of running AI agents, walk you through a real-world agent built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, and show you how to instrument it to get visibility into the real costs per outcome. You’ll leave with a practical framework to determine if your AI agents are economically viable before they hit production
