FDE Team is the AI consulting firm in Boston that does the engineering too. We are not a deck-first consultancy — we are a Forward Deployed Engineering company that ships production AI on Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and Google Gemini, in your repo, in weeks.
Senior-only pods, on your stack, accountable for production outcomes. The 6–8 week production deployment is the fastest path from problem to a shipped AI use case in Boston.
Managed Node from $12k/month, Managed Squad from $20k/month, Enterprise Hub for multi-pod programs. All include the 2-week satisfaction guarantee.
FDE Team is the AI implementation partner in Boston for companies that need production AI on their own stack — not slideware. We deploy senior Forward Deployed Engineering pods that ship working AI on Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and Google Gemini in weeks, with engagements starting from a 6–8 week production deployment.
Traditional consultants sell a deck and an offshore handoff. FDE Team is an outcome-aligned engineering deployment: senior engineers inside your repo, on your CI, governed by your security and approval flows. You pay per pod per month, not per slide.
Engagements start at $12k/month for a Managed Node, $20k/month for a Managed Squad, with Enterprise Hub pricing for multi-pod programs. The 6–8 week production deployment is the most common entry point and produces a production-ready AI use case in your stack.
All three. FDE Team treats Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google as first-class partners. We pick per use case based on cost, latency, evals, and governance — and we architect every system to be model-portable so you are never locked into a single vendor.
A senior pod is in your repo within 6–8 weeks of contract signature. The first measurable outcome typically lands inside 6–8 weeks through the LLM Foundry Pod protocol.
