Azure Direct Models

Direct from Azure models are a select portfolio curated for their market-differentiated capabilities:
  • Secure and managed by Microsoft: Purchase and manage models directly through Azure with a single license, consistent support, and no third-party dependencies, backed by Azure's enterprise-grade infrastructure.
  • Streamlined operations: Benefit from unified billing, governance, and seamless PTU portability across models hosted on Azure - all as part of one Azure AI Foundry platform.
  • Future-ready flexibility: Access the latest models as they become available, and easily test, deploy, or switch between them within Azure AI Foundry; reducing integration effort.
  • Cost control and optimization: Scale on demand with pay-as-you-go flexibility or reserve PTUs for predictable performance and savings.
