Microsoft announced at Build 2026 that Foundry Managed Compute now includes a curated catalog of open-weight models from Hugging Face's 3 million model repository, refreshed weekly with one-click deployment. The service pre-stages weights in Azure, provides Microsoft-scanned runtimes (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, NIM, TEI, llama.cpp), and offers pay-per-hour GPU pricing with automatic security patching.

Anthropic released version 0.106.0 of its Python SDK on June 5, 2026, marking Claude Opus 4.1 as deprecated. The update also includes bug fixes for Foundry client methods and schema transformation handling.
