Microsoft Foundry Models is built for enterprises, development teams, and technical organizations that need a secure, scalable, and comprehensive model hub to accelerate AI innovation across every business function
About Microsoft Foundry Models
Microsoft Foundry Models is a unified model catalog that gives enterprises access to more than 11,000 AI models from Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Meta, Cohere, DeepSeek, xAI, and others. It allows teams to explore, test, and deploy models quickly using a task-centric discovery experience and integrated playground. Organizations can fine-tune models with ready-to-use pipelines and evaluate performance using their own datasets for more accurate benchmarking. Foundry Models provides secure, scalable deployment options with serverless and managed compute choices tailored to enterprise needs. With built-in governance, compliance, and Azure’s global security framework, businesses can safely operationalize AI across mission-critical workflows. The platform accelerates innovation by enabling developers to build, iterate, and scale AI solutions from one centralized environment.

GPT-6 Astra
GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI’s frontier AI model for computer use, software engineering, scientific research, cybersecurity, browsing, and complex professional work. It combines advanced reasoning with agentic capabilities that allow it to navigate software, use tools, conduct research, manipulate data, troubleshoot systems, and complete multistep workflows. Astra is also designed to produce polished documents, spreadsheets, presentations, websites, applications, and other business or technical artifacts while following existing templates and organizational standards. In Codex, the model introduces improved long-running context management that can preserve notes and retrieve information from earlier context windows during extended software engineering tasks. OpenAI positions Astra as its most aligned model to date, with improvements in respecting task boundaries, interpreting user intent, communicating limitations, and avoiding unauthorized actions.

Claude Fable 5.1
Claude Fable 5.1 is Anthropic’s advanced AI model for coding, knowledge work, research, and long-running agentic tasks. It is designed to improve on Claude Fable 5 with stronger performance across software engineering, scientific research, multidisciplinary reasoning, computer use, business workflows, and complex problem solving. The model can handle extended multi-step work, verify its own results, diagnose difficult software issues, and operate effectively across tool-heavy workflows. Anthropic also reduced cache-read pricing for Fable 5.1, lowering typical usage costs compared with Fable 5 and creating larger savings for highly agentic workloads. Fable 5.1 includes updated safeguards intended to reduce false positives while allowing more legitimate cybersecurity tasks such as vulnerability discovery for defensive purposes. The model is available through Claude products, the Claude API, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

Claude Mythos 5.1
Claude Mythos 5.1 is Anthropic’s newest Mythos-class model, designed for advanced cybersecurity, biology, scientific research, coding, and long-running knowledge work. It is the same underlying model as Claude Fable 5.1 but uses different safeguards: Fable 5.1 is generally available, while Mythos 5.1 is restricted to trusted access programs with safeguards specifically designed for cybersecurity and life sciences research. The model sets a new performance frontier for agentic coding and demonstrates the strongest cyber capabilities of any Anthropic model released to date. In scientific research, Mythos 5.1 can work with specialized tools and complex workflows across molecular design, computational biology, and other technical domains. In Anthropic’s experiments, it designed high-affinity protein binders across multiple targets and achieved its strongest measured hit rate to date. It also optimized seven open-source protein and genomics deep learning models.

Claude Opus 5.5
Claude Opus 5.5 is Anthropic’s advanced AI model for agentic coding, complex knowledge work, computer use, research, and long-running professional tasks. It is designed to handle large codebases, multi-step workflows, financial analysis, document creation, software audits, and other demanding workloads with improved efficiency over Claude Opus 5. Anthropic reports that Opus 5.5 uses fewer tokens per task, produces output more than 30% faster, and costs less to run than its predecessor. The model also improves communication quality by putting important information first, reducing unnecessary jargon, and following writing instructions more consistently. Safety enhancements include stronger prompt-injection resistance, action screening, sandboxing support, code review, behavioral alignment testing, and safeguards for high-risk cybersecurity & biology. Claude Opus 5.5 is available through Claude, Claude Code, the Claude Platform API, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
