Microsoft recently introduced Azure AI Foundry, a powerful new initiative designed to help organizations build, deploy, and manage AI agents at scale. This platform combines model orchestration, fine tuning capabilities, and a robust agent runtime giving companies a faster path from prototype to production ready AI.
Exodata, a trusted Azure Expert Managed Services Provider, helps organizations fully leverage these capabilities, from secure infrastructure deployment to long term lifecycle management.
