Satya Nadella’s measured welcome for Grok 4 — “Excited for Grok 4 on Azure” — captured more than a momentary social-media exchange between two high-profile CEOs; it signaled a pragmatic reality now shaping enterprise AI: hyperscalers will host and mediate access to third‑party frontier models...

Microsoft’s cloud catalogue now lists xAI’s Grok 4 Fast family inside Azure AI Foundry, and the move has rapidly shifted the conversation from “can we run Grok?” to “how should enterprises run it?” — a question that matters for teams building document automation, developer tooling, or regulated...

Microsoft’s Azure AI Foundry now lists xAI’s Grok 4 Fast SKUs—grok-4-fast-reasoning and grok-4-fast-non-reasoning—giving enterprises an on‑platform path to run Grok’s long‑context, tool‑enabled models with Azure’s governance, enterprise SLAs, and integration surface. Background / Overview Azure...

Microsoft’s latest move to formalize an open agentic web stack for AI-driven automation marks a deliberate attempt to move autonomous agents from experiment to enterprise-grade production — and it rewrites several long‑standing rules about how businesses will build, govern, and scale AI workers...

Microsoft’s AI strategy quietly leaped forward this week as the company rolled OpenAI’s GPT‑5‑Codex into Azure AI Foundry at general availability and opened a public preview of the same model for GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio Code — and, in a parallel move, broadened Microsoft 365...

Microsoft’s “Agent Factory” blueprint reframes the wave of agentic AI from a set of experimental point-solutions into a repeatable, enterprise-grade stack—one built around identity, open protocols, observability, and multi-agent orchestration—and proposes Azure AI Foundry as the practical...
