Bring the power of #deepseekR1 into your local VS Code by using the AI Toolkit extension (aka.ms/aitoolkit)! Interact with the R1 model in the playground or generate responses in bulk entirely locally. #ollama #DeepSeek

Developers, developers, developers! Three new models from @MicrosoftAI now in Foundry: speech→text, text→speech, and text→image. Less integration tax. Build agents with voice, captions, call analytics and automate support and creative workflows! @AIFoundryDevs @MSAzureDev @msdev
Three models. Three top-tier results. All shipped within just a few months by the @MicrosoftAI team.
- MAI-Transcribe-1 dropped today, the most accurate transcription model in the world across 25 languages according to FLEURS WER benchmark.
- MAI-Voice-1 sets a new standard for natural speech.
- MAI-Image-2 lands as a top 3 model family on @arena.
We've been building with them - now you can too. All 3 available now on Microsoft Foundry.
#Anthropic Opus 4.5 model sets a new bar for coding, agents, office tasks, vision, and enterprise-grade reasoning - it is now in Microsoft Foundry! With AI Toolkit (aka.ms/aitoolkit), you can deploy and experiment with the new model without leaving VS Code😎
🚀 Anthropic Claude models are now in Microsoft Foundry - and you can access them directly from within VS Code using the AI Toolkit! (aka.ms/aitoolkit)
✅ Explore Claude models in VS Code
✅ Deploy seamlessly to Microsoft Foundry
✅ Test in the AI Toolkit Playground

Microsoft has released Data Wrangler, a VS Code extension that gives you a UI for data viewing & cleaning and that generates clean Python/pandas code. I really hope that they rip out Power Query in Excel and replace it with this! I'd go as far a saying that this should have been the first deliverable for Python in Excel...marketplace.visualstudio.com… #pythoninexcel #vscode #pandas #microsoftexcel
A code-centric data cleaning tool for VS Code that we’ve been working on hit GA today! We’d love if you could give it try and let us know how it works for you 🥰
