Claude Models in Microsoft Foundry are hosted in Azure infrastructure powered by Nvidia’s GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs. The deployments follow a partnership among Microsoft, Nvidia, and Anthropic, covering Claude’s availability on Nvidia-accelerated computing.
Enterprises will be able to build through the existing Microsoft Azure account. Teams will also build agentic applications that run their work with Claude in an environment they already operate in. It is an important step for customers looking to build agentic applications and plan to move from AI experimentation to production.
