Claude is landing in Microsoft's enterprise AI stack: you can now run Claude models in Microsoft Foundry, hosted on Azure.
Opus 4.8 and Haiku 4.5 on Azure
Claude Opus 4.8 and Claude Haiku 4.5 are available in Microsoft Foundry through the Messages API, so teams already building on Azure can call Claude without leaving their cloud.
Full capabilities, not a stripped-down port
The integration supports Claude's core features — prompt caching, extended thinking, and more — so you get the same controls available elsewhere rather than a reduced version.
Meeting enterprises where they already are
Running inside Foundry/Azure lowers the barrier for Microsoft-centric and regulated organizations to adopt Claude in production, widening where the models can be deployed.
