Build and run your AI apps and agents at scale with Azure. Orchestrate multi-agent apps and high-scale inference solutions using open-source and proprietary models, no infrastructure management needed. With Azure, connect frameworks like Semantic Kernel to models from DeepSeek, Llama, OpenAI’s GPT-4o, and Sora, without provisioning GPUs or writing complex scheduling logic. Just submit your prompt and assets, and the models do the rest.
Using Azure’s Model as a Service, access cutting-edge models, including brand-new releases like DeepSeek R1 and Sora, as managed APIs with autoscaling and built-in security. Whether you’re handling bursts of demand, fine-tuning models, or provisioning compute, Azure provides the capacity, efficiency, and flexibility you need. With industry-leading AI silicon, including H100s, GB200s, and advanced cooling, your solutions can run with the same power and scale behind ChatGPT.

Create fine-tuned, task-specific models that write like you by teaching models using expert knowledge, tone, and structure - with reference information directly attached to the models themselves using Microsoft 365 Copilot Tuning.
Fine-tuning adds new skills to foundational models, simulating experience in the tasks you teach the model to do. This complements Retrieval Augmented Generation, which in real-time uses search to find related information, then add that to your prompts for context.
Fine-tuning helps ensure that responses meet your quality expectations for specific repeatable tasks, without needing to be prompting expert. It's great for drafting complex legal agreements, writing technical documentation, authoring medical papers, and more - using detailed, often lengthy precedent files along with what you teach the model.
Using Copilot Studio, anyone can create and deploy these fine-tuned models to use with agents without data science or coding expertise. There, you can teach models using data labeling, ground them in your organization’s content - while keeping the information in-place and maintaining data security and access policies. The information contained in the task-specific models that you create stay private to your team and organization. Task-specific models and related information are only accessible to the people and departments you specify - and information is not merged into shared large language models or used for model training.
Jeremy Chapman, Director on the Microsoft 365 product team, shows how this simple, zero-code approach helps the agents you build write and reason like your experts—delivering high-quality, detailed responses.

Investigate data security, risk and leak cases faster by leveraging AI-driven insights with Microsoft Purview Data Security Investigations. This goes beyond the superficial metadata and activity-only signals found in incident management and SIEM tools, by analyzing the content itself within compromised files, emails, messages, and Microsoft Copilot interactions. Data Security Investigations allows you to pinpoint sensitive data and assess risks at a deeper level—quickly understanding the value of what’s been exposed.
Then by mapping connections between compromised data and activities, you can easily find the source of the security risk or exposure. And using real-time risk insights, you can also apply the right protections to minimize future vulnerabilities. Data Security Investigations is also integrated with Microsoft Defender incident management as part your broader SOC toolset.
Nick Robinson, Microsoft Purview Principal Product Manager, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how to enhance your ability to safeguard critical information.
