Get practical strategies and best practices to help you plan, design, and manage AI investments for sustainable value and efficiency.

Explore how Microsoft and Armada bring sovereign AI to the edge with Azure Local, enabling secure, resilient workloads in disconnected and regulated environments.

With Fireworks AI, we’re extending the Microsoft Foundry platform with high performance inference for state-of-the-art open models on Azure.

Customers are on the hunt for smarter models, more capable agents, and market-ready solutions to operationalize AI workflows.

Today, we’re announcing OpenAI’s GPT‑5.4 to be generally available soon in Microsoft Foundry: a model designed to help organizations move from planning work to reliably completing it in production environments.

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, infrastructure decisions increasingly shape how quickly teams can adopt AI, how reliably applications operate at global scale, and how effectively businesses respond to constant change.

Enterprises today face a familiar yet formidable challenge: mountains of documents -contracts, invoices, reports, forms – remain locked in unstructured formats. Traditional OCR (optical character recognition) captures text, but often struggles with context, layout complexity, or multilingual content. The result? Slow workflows, error-prone manual reviews, and missed insights.

Claude Sonnet 4.6 is available today in Microsoft Foundry, and it is designed for teams who want frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work at scale.

Learn about an AI-powered experience launched as a minimum viable product to gather real user feedback and iterate rapidly.

While today’s cloud delivers extraordinary flexibility, the rapid growth of modern applications and AI workloads has introduced levels of scale and complexity that traditional operations were not designed for.

As the demand for AI and data-intensive computing is on the rise, the need for efficient and reliable power delivery is critical.
