Claude now runs on GB300 Blackwell Ultra in Azure
Anthropic's Claude is now generally available in Azure Foundry on NVIDIA GB300 Blackwell Ultra NVL72 systems, cutting inference cost for agentic workloads.
Claude models in Microsoft Azure Foundry are now generally available on NVIDIA GB300 Blackwell Ultra NVL72 systems with Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking. The deployment builds on a November 2025 strategic partnership between Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Anthropic. Azure Foundry enables enterprises to build agentic systems including autonomous and specialized sub-agents; NVIDIA says the hardware reduces total cost of ownership versus prior generations, though no specific performance benchmarks are published.
