Microsoft Foundry is the best platform for running agents in the enterprise - and one reason is the observability and governance features to keep your agent within the bounds you define πŸ”πŸ”Ž Long running agents can reason, act, and use tools to help transform so many parts of a business - but doing so responsibly means you need to be able to confidentially answer: What can it access? What can it influence? Where can data go? Can I reconstruct what it's doing? Can I control and budget costs? Check out the demo below to see how Foundry provides a platform to answer all of these questions for you, and gives you a slick agentic developer experience to get it all up and running faster than ever before πŸŽ‰πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»

As host, I had a weirdly privileged view of #AgentCon #London. I got to hear every session, audience question, and hallway conversations. Flicking through my notes afterwards, these were the lines I'd highlighted ... #AgentCon #MicrosoftFoundry #DevRel #GlobalAICommunity

πŸ“ "Don't ask whether a model is better. Ask whether it's better for your workload." πŸ“ "Stop token-maxxing. Start value-maxxing." πŸ“ "Too many tools can be as big a problem as too few."

None of these quotes are really about Gen AI 'features'. They're about: Engineering decisions The conversation has shifted from: "Can we build agents?" to "How do we run them safely, reliably, and cost-effectively in production?" AI is an engineering discipline.

Unpopular opinion: the faster #codingagents get, the more important #architecture becomes. Building an #enterpriseagent isn't just #code. It's evals, observability, optimisation, security, and resilience. Get your head around what you're building πŸŽ₯ youtu.be/K6ypSCMWvGU

Preparing to open #AgentCon London this morning and looking back through old photos. To think it all started with a conversation with Henk Boelman at #WorldAISummit in October 2018. #AgentCon #London #GlobalAICommunity #AI #Microsoft #MicrosoftFoundry

Fastest. Cheapest. Best. ... MAI-Transcribe-2 10x faster than GPT-Transcribe. 5x faster than Gemini 3.5 #1 on the Artificial Analysis accuracy-latency Pareto frontier Priced at the lowest on the market. Truly fantastic work from the team! Try it out below.

Meet Bit. I tested #MAI-Image-2.5 Pro in #MicrosoftFoundry across 27 character-consistency cases: angles, poses, props, lighting and scale. The tiny coat was perfection. MAI-Image-2.6 is on #Arena. Foundry test soon! aka.ms/model-releases #MAIImage

Renovating a bathroom? #MAI-Image-2.5 Flash in #MicrosoftFoundry gave me 6 mood-board directions in ~2 minutes: Flash to explore, Image to iterate, Pro to finish. MAI-Image-2.6 is on #Arena. Foundry test soon! aka.ms/model-releases #MAIImage

One WhatsApp car-wash photo, one blurred finger. #MAI-Image-2.5 in #MicrosoftFoundry removed it without adding AI glamour or changing the car. MAI-Image-2.6 is on #Arena. Foundry test soon! aka.ms/model-releases #MAIImage #ImageEditing

One dress, six listing images in ~1 minute with #MAI-Image-2.5 in #MicrosoftFoundry. It preserved the colour, texture, shadows and hanger loops while changing the background. MAI-Image-2.6 is on #Arena. Foundry test soon! aka.ms/model-releases #MAI
