About Microsoft Foundry
Microsoft Foundry offers a comprehensive platform-as-a-service for enterprise AI operations. It provides multiple deployment options including Serverless APIs (pay-as-you-go), Global Standard (shared managed capacity), Provisioned Throughput Units (reserved capacity), batch processing, and bring-your-own model deployments. The platform features a unified control plane for models, agents, tools, and observability. Its Agent Service enables building and deploying AI agents with built-in tracing, monitoring, and governance. Evaluation and monitoring tools assess model performance, safety, and groundedness. Foundry supports seamless upgrades from Azure OpenAI with non-destructive migration, maintaining existing deployments while unlocking multi-provider model access and advanced platform capabilities.
Microsoft Foundry is a unified enterprise AI platform that significantly expands beyond Azure OpenAI. It functions as a multi-provider hosting and deployment platform for LLMs, supporting models from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, xAI, Meta, Mistral, NVIDIA, and others. Foundry integrates agent services, evaluation, observability, and governance into a single Azure control plane. Key capabilities include a multi-provider model catalog, Model Router for intelligent prompt routing, Foundry Agent Service for building and deploying AI agents with built-in tracing and monitoring, and enterprise-grade governance with RBAC, compliance, and regional deployments. For broader model catalog including Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Llama, Mistral, and NVIDIA Nemotron, Foundry is the recommended platform over Azure OpenAI.

About DeciLM 7B
DeciLM-7B is a cutting-edge large language model developed by Deci AI, featuring 7.04 billion parameters. This model incorporates an advanced transformer decoder architecture, utilizing variable Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) to achieve high accuracy and efficiency. The architecture is fine-tuned using Deci's proprietary Neural Architecture Search technology, AutoNAC, for optimal performance. Capable of handling sequences of up to 8192 tokens, DeciLM-7B outperforms similar or larger models across various benchmarks. An instruction-tuned version, DeciLM-7B-instruct, further enhances its capabilities, especially for instruction-following tasks. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, making it suitable for both commercial and research use.
