In the rapidly evolving landscape of large language models (LLMs), achieving precise control over model behavior while maintaining quality has become a critical challenge. While models like GPT-4 demonstrate impressive capabilities, ensuring their outputs align with human preferences—whether for safety, helpfulness, or style—requires sophisticated ...

Large Language Models (LLMs) have reached a point where general intelligence is no longer the bottleneck. The real challenge in enterprise AI systems behavioral alignment ensuring models that produce consistent, reliable, policy-compliant outputs on a scale. Prompt engineering and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) are powerful but they do not ch...

We welcome guest author, Matt Kruczek, to share how to build a complete Skills Executor in .NET, combining Azure OpenAI with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) C# SDK to bring the same agentic patterns to the Microsoft ecosystem. You’ll see how to define reusable skills, connect local and external tools, and orchestrate intelligent agent loops—so ent...

Azure AI Foundry is now Microsoft Foundry. Read the latest announcements about agents, models, tools and more.

Build enterprise-grade RAG agents with Foundry IQ Knowledge Bases in ~20 lines of Python. Learn how the Azure AI Search Context Provider brings intelligent, multi-hop retrieval to the Microsoft Agent Framework—no fragmented pipelines, just plug in the knowledge your agent needs.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard protocol that enables AI agents to securely connect with apps, data, and systems, supporting easy interoperability and seamless platform expansion. At Ignite, Microsoft Foundry introduced Foundry Tools, which serves as a central hub for discovering, connecting, and managing both public and private MCP tool...

Join us for AI Dev Days, a two-day virtual event exploring the latest Microsoft Azure, Foundry and GitHub innovations. Whether you’re modernizing legacy apps, building with agents, or exploring the newest AI models, this is your moment to skill up, ship faster, and connect with experts.

Give your agents the power to remember  Imagine your agent never asks the same question twice. Until now, most agents have been stateless. Each conversation resets to zero, forgetting what users said just minutes ago or weeks ago. Developers tried to bridge this gap with homegrown solutions — storing embeddings in databases, manually retrieving pr...

Introduction Translation isn’t just converting words—it’s enabling global communication. Yet for businesses operating worldwide, achieving accuracy, speed, and domain-specific terminology has been a persistent challenge. Market trends show that 70% of consumers prefer content in their native language, and enterprises are under pressure to delive...

Across industries, organizations are moving from experimenting with single agents to running AI at the center of their business operations. While single agents excel at focused tasks, customers quickly discover that real enterprise work stretches across multiple steps, involves different roles, and requires strong governance. To operationalize AI i...
