Microsoft has announced a major expansion of its Azure AI platform, revealing that it will now host artificial intelligence models from leading developers beyond its long-time partner OpenAI.
Azure customers will soon gain access to:

This expansion underscores Microsoft’s strategic commitment to openness and model diversity, empowering developers and enterprise customers to drive innovation with the best tools available—all in one place.
