Claude models (Opus 4.8 and Haiku 4.5) are now generally available in Microsoft Foundry, hosted on Azure. The integration is Azure-native, supporting existing Azure identity, networking, billing, and governance controls. Teams can choose between hosting on Azure (with US data zone support) or on Anthropic's infrastructure. Eligible customers with a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement can draw down Azure commitments for Claude usage. Core API features like prompt caching and extended thinking are supported.
