GPT-5 Arrives in Azure AI Foundry

OpenAI’s newest big brain, GPT-5, is now ready for everyone inside Azure AI Foundry. This isn’t just another chat model; it’s the smartest one yet, tested across major benchmarks and built to handle real-world tasks. Microsoft’s platform enables businesses to transition from small-scale test projects to full-scale rollouts safely, quickly, and with cost savings.

Four Models for Different Jobs

Inside Azure AI Foundry, GPT-5 comes in four “sizes,” each with special powers.

• GPT-5: the full thinker, great for deep analytics and code generation, with huge context memory.
• GPT-5 mini: fast and smart, ideal for live apps and agents.
• GPT-5 nano: super speedy with great Q&A skills, perfect for cost-sensitive or high-volume tasks.
• GPT-5 chat: keeps conversations natural and remembers context for long chats.

The Model Router decides which one to use for each job, so you save time and up to 60% on costs.

Real Impact for Business and Developers

Companies like SAP, Relativity, and Hebbia are already using GPT-5 to speed up decision-making, dig deeper into data, and create new products.

• In research, it reads huge amounts of information and explains results clearly.
• In operations, it supports logistics, risk checks, and customer service.
• In software, it improves code style, finds bugs, and writes documentation.

Developers using GitHub Copilot and VS Code can now tap GPT-5’s reasoning to handle complex coding tasks faster and better.

Safety, Security, and Control

Microsoft built strong safety layers around GPT-5. The AI Red Team tested it, finding it safer than many other models. Protections include,

• Content Safety to block harmful prompts.
• Agent evaluators to check for bias and risks.
• Integration with Microsoft Defender and Purview for security, compliance, and audits.

With Azure AI Foundry’s reliability, real-time monitoring, and secure deployments, businesses can scale AI with confidence.
