Azure AI Foundry is no longer just a tool, it’s the new AI OS.

Microsoft just unveiled a sweeping set of updates to Azure AI Foundry at Build 2025. If you’re building apps or agents with AI, this changes everything.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Software development used to be a relay race. Now it’s real-time. Azure AI Foundry turns ideas into production-grade AI in days, not quarters.

• Microsoft is the only player uniting code, collaboration, and cloud in one AI-native workflow: Visual Studio Code, GitHub, and Azure.

• Azure AI Foundry already powers 2B daily enterprise searches and supports 70,000+ customers. It’s evolving from app platform to full-stack agent factory.

• At Build 2025, Microsoft announced 10 major Foundry innovations, each designed to supercharge developers building AI agents.

• New model choices are expanding fast. Grok 3, Flux Pro 1.1, and Sora join 10K Hugging Face models, all accessible in Foundry. Fine-tuning is now easier, cheaper, and more accessible.

• A new “model router” auto-picks the best model per task—boosting accuracy and slashing costs. Reserved capacity ensures fast performance even at scale.

• Azure AI Foundry Agent Service is now GA. You can deploy agents with 1,400+ data connectors, push to Teams or Slack, and scale instantly—no infrastructure worries.

• Multi-agent orchestration is now real. Agents can collaborate, hand off tasks, and solve complex workflows using shared context and open standards.

• “Agentic retrieval” makes search smarter. It breaks down complex questions into sub-queries for better, cited answers, up to 40% more relevant in tests.

• Foundry Observability gives deep visibility: trace logs, metrics, GitHub and DevOps CI/CD integration, plus real-time alerts via Azure Monitor.

• Microsoft Entra Agent ID introduces agent-level identity. Just like humans, each AI gets an ID, complete with access controls and security policies.

• Security and governance got major upgrades. Red teaming, intent evaluators, prompt filters, and integrations with tools like Purview and Credo AI are now built in.

• Foundry Local lets you deploy agents offline on Mac and Windows. Perfect for edge cases, factories, field apps, and spotty internet environments.

• Future-facing projects are live in Foundry Labs. Project Amelie writes entire ML pipelines from a single prompt. Magnetic-UI and TypeAgent push memory and interaction forward.

Microsoft isn’t just iterating on tools, they’re reshaping how we build with AI. Azure AI Foundry is now a foundation layer, not a feature. If you’re serious about deploying real-world agents or apps, this is the stack to watch. It’s fast, flexible, and enterprise-ready. The next era of software isn’t just powered by AI, it is AI.
