Microsoft released Azure AI Foundry at the Ignite conference, aiming to simplify the process of building and deploying AI applications for enterprise users and fully tap the business value of generative AI. This move is designed to address the challenges of model updates and application reconstruction brought about by the rapid development of AI technology, and to help companies make more effective use of AI technology, reduce development costs, and increase return on investment. Azure AI Foundry allows users to easily switch between different AI models, supports mixing and matching, and ensures stable operation of applications. Currently, 60,000 Azure AI customers have benefited from the more than 1,800 AI models provided by Microsoft.
This tool allows users to more easily switch between large AI-enabled language models. For example, customers using older versions of OpenAI products can try new versions of the model, or choose alternatives from Mistral and Meta.
Scott Guthrie, director of cloud computing at Microsoft, said that this tool not only supports mixing and matching different models, but also helps customers ensure the stable operation of applications and obtain significant return on investment. Azure AI Foundry will be available as a free trial in an effort to attract wider enterprise adoption of Microsoft cloud services.
It is reported that 60,000 customers are currently using Azure AI, and this service supports developers to call 1,800 AI models to develop applications. However, with the rapid development of AI technology, customers are faced with the complexity of model updates and application reconstruction. The launch of Azure AI Foundry provides users with a more flexible and efficient solution, helping them quickly adapt to new technologies and avoid duplication of development costs.
The launch of Azure AI Foundry marks Microsoft's continued investment and innovation in the field of AI, providing enterprise users with more convenient and efficient AI application development and deployment solutions, and is expected to further promote the popularization and application of AI technology.
