A Developer’s Guide to Managing Models, Cost and Quality in Microsoft Foundry

The hardest part of building AI systems today is no longer getting access to a capable model. It is knowing how to choose, validate, optimize, and operate the right model across the full lifecycle of a real application. Take a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-based customer support copilot or a tool-calling agent that helps employees complete business […]

Foundry IQ: Build smarter agents faster with unified knowledge and serverless retrieval

Developers building agent fleets keep hitting the same pattern: the agent logic is ready, but the knowledge infrastructure underneath is complex to do well. Getting to production means solving for stability, scale, data access, answer quality, security, and content ingestion all at once. Today, we are enabling developers to have faster impact by simplifying the […]
