Azure AI Foundry
LLM providersMicrosoft's platform for accessing OpenAI and other models within the Azure cloud.
Azure AI Foundry (formerly Azure AI Studio) is Microsoft's platform for building with models on Azure — including OpenAI's models under Azure's terms, plus a catalogue of others, with Azure identity, networking, and compliance.
For enterprises on Microsoft's stack it is the path to frontier models without leaving their existing governance and contracts.
Where it's ideally used
The default for Azure-committed enterprises wanting OpenAI and other models inside Azure governance and compliance.
Where it doesn't fit
Tied to the Azure ecosystem — little reason to choose it without that commitment.
