Microsoft platform for building, evaluating and deploying AI apps
Azure AI Foundry is Microsoft's consolidated platform for AI development on Azure. It hosts a model catalogue including OpenAI models, Llama, Mistral and others, and adds the surrounding tooling: prompt flow for wiring steps together, evaluation runs, content safety filters, and managed endpoints for deployment. Teams already on Azure use it to keep model access under the same tenant, networking and compliance controls as the rest of their estate. The differentiator is enterprise governance: role-based access, private networking and regional deployment come as part of the platform.

Yes. There is no standalone free plan, and you need an Azure subscription with model quota approved for your region. Some models come with limited free usage, but most billing is consumption-based.
You get the same models inside your Azure tenant, with private networking, role-based access, regional deployment and safety tooling. That governance is the reason regulated teams choose this route.
