AI Challenger

10-week AI engineering fellowship ^{100% free to attend; all in-person housing and expenses covered. $200,000/year AI engineering offer upon completion.} 

You're not looking for another job. You're looking for a transformation. Welcome to The Gauntlet—an elite, 10-week AI engineering crucible that turns ambitious builders into the kind of talent companies fight over. There’s no tuition. No fluff. No theoretical lectures. Just full-throttle immersion in cutting-edge tools, intense product-building, and a guaranteed $200K job offer on the other side.

At Gauntlet AI, we don’t run bootcamps. We build battlegrounds. You'll work 80–100 hours per week alongside top-tier peers, using the latest AI tools—LangChain, Claude, GPT-4, Cursor, and more—to ship real products that solve real problems. You’ll live and work in Austin, TX (expenses paid), surrounded by founders, engineers, and mentors who expect—and give—everything.

This isn’t a place to "get exposure" or "learn the basics." It’s where you compress five years of growth into two months. It's where former Target employees become AI engineers, startup dreamers launch real apps, and talented but stuck developers finally break through. If you're ready to sprint into the AI era, this is your launchpad.

What if you could compress five years of learning, growth, and career acceleration into ten weeks—and walk away with a guaranteed $200K AI engineering role? That’s exactly what Gauntlet AI delivers.

The Gauntlet is not a course. It’s a full-immersion engineering crucible for the most driven, high-potential developers on the planet. You'll train 80–100 hours per week in an environment that demands everything—and gives back more. Zero tuition. All expenses paid. Real-world products built. Elite mentorship. And at the end, an offer for a $200K/year role in Austin, TX. This is the fastest way to become an elite AI engineer.

We’ve stripped away everything that slows traditional education down: lectures, theory, endless planning. Instead, you’ll learn through building, failing, shipping, and doing it all again. You’ll master AI-first development: LangChain, Claude, GPT-4, Replit, LangGraph, CrewAI, and more. You’ll launch real tools, contribute to open-source, and solve real-world problems—alongside peers who work like you do.
