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.
