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 ππ
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 ππ§βπ»

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 ...

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

Kicking things off with a warm welcome from @AmyKateNicho and @meetdux to a packed room of AI builders, developers, and enthusiasts.
A full day of AI agents talks starts now.

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.

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.
We're all using a harness with our squad to do loop engineering, right? Right?!

I *really* enjoyed this podcast: a whole lot of fun and knowledge youtu.be/7oqYIRbB6Rc?si=jNo0β¦
Would you add anything to these terms that the team doesn't cover? #terminology #AI #GitHub #Azure #Developer
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!

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.

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!

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.
