Why it's interesting

The customers here are Teradyne's own sales, finance and ops teams — this FDE reports into a Chief AI Officer org and deploys internally, not to clients. A 50-year-old test-and-automation company paying up to $271K for an inward-facing FDE is the clearest sign yet that "forward deployed" has detached from the customer and now just means "the engineer who makes AI actually land somewhere."
