Microsoft announced the launch of a new tool, Azure AI Foundry, at its annual Ignite conference, aimed at simplifying the operational workflow for cloud customers building and deploying artificial intelligence applications, and enhancing the commercial potential of generative AI. This tool allows users to more easily switch between large language models that support AI. For instance, customers using older OpenAI products can try the new model version or opt for alternatives like Mistral and Meta.
