I'm curious about the differences between Azure OpenAI resources and Azure AI Foundry resources. From what I've gathered, Azure AI Foundry seems to be a more comprehensive option, as it can include OpenAI models and additional models like Grok, Kimi, and Qwen. Am I missing something here? What are the real-world advantages of choosing Azure OpenAI resources over Azure AI Foundry?

Honestly, I don't see any strong advantages to sticking with Azure OpenAI now that Azure AI Foundry is available. Foundry seems to cover all the bases.
Just a heads-up, the Foundry you’re referring to is Microsoft Foundry, not Azure AI Foundry. That might help clarify things!
We're all in on Azure AI Foundry due to its ability to integrate various models and tools into one platform. It really streamlines development with features for managing agents, workflows, and even fine-tuning options. Plus, it has a unified control system, which simplifies oversight and governance across different AI models.
Wait, were you involved in the development of those AI hubs?

I wonder if the rebranding hints at a bigger strategy or just a way to differentiate the services.
