We are building a comprehensive agent platform: one that supports many models, is open, and gives you flexibility at every layer of the stack.

Build smarter agents with Microsoft Foundry IQ, unifying enterprise and external data into a secure, scalable knowledge layer for faster, higher-quality answers.

Microsoft Foundry helps teams move beyond model access to operate AI at scale—selecting, evaluating, optimizing, and governing models across the full lifecycle.

Claude Opus 4.8 is now available in Microsoft Foundry, giving developers and enterprises access to Anthropic’s most capable Opus model for coding, agentic tasks, and professional work.

Azure NetApp Files is redefining what’s possible for EDA in the cloud—delivering scalable, high-performance storage that supports massive concurrency, low latency, and consistent production performance. With independent benchmark validation and real-world adoption, organizations can now run EDA workloads at scale without traditional storage bottlenecks.

AI is reshaping application development. Explore key trends from Cosmos DB Conf 2026 and how teams are building scalable, AI-native applications with Azure Cosmos DB.

OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 will be generally available in Microsoft Foundry, bringing OpenAI’s latest frontier model to Azure and the enterprise teams building agents for real production work.
