Agents are only as capable as the tools you give them—and only as trustworthy as the governance behind those tools.

Frontier Firms are moving beyond experimentation and into scaled transformation—powered by human-agent teams—by having agents as members of their team, reinventing processes, providing employees with new skills to scale their impact, and using a modern cloud foundation.

Instead of simply delivering information, agents reason, act, and collaborate—bridging the gap between knowledge and outcomes. Read more about agentic AI in Azure AI Foundry.

Today, we’re announcing general availability of OpenAI’s new flagship, GPT-5, in Azure AI Foundry. This is more than a new model release; it is the most powerful large language model (LLM) ever released across key benchmarks.

With the launch of OpenAI’s gpt‑oss models—its first open-weight release since GPT‑2—we’re giving developers and enterprises unprecedented ability to run, adapt, and deploy OpenAI models entirely on their own terms.

In our technical guide, “Accelerating Generative AI Innovation with Cloud Migration” we outline how IT and digital transformation leaders can tap into the power and flexibility of Azure to unlock the full potential of generative AI.
