What is Microsoft Foundry?
Why D is the answer
A platform that brings agents, models and tools together
Microsoft describes Foundry as unifying agents, models and tools with enterprise capabilities such as tracing and monitoring.
In detail
- Foundry brings agents, models and tools together.
- It offers models from many providers.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A team needs models, agents and tools in one place. Microsoft Foundry brings them together, so it does not assemble separate services.
