Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Anthropic have made Claude generally available on Azure Foundry, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, to accelerate enterprise AI agents.
The release gives Azure customers access to infrastructure designed to build and deploy autonomous and domain-specific AI agents, enabling enterprises to accelerate AI-driven business processes while improving inference performance and operational efficiency.

The launch comes as enterprises increasingly adopt agentic AI systems capable of executing complex tasks autonomously across multiple business functions.
Claude in Microsoft Foundry runs on NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems with NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking, providing the computing performance required for large-scale AI inference and multi-agent workloads.
The platform enables organizations to develop specialized AI agents capable of collaborating across departments and executing advanced business tasks with greater speed and efficiency.
As part of the collaboration, NVIDIA is integrating its AI software tools into the Anthropic ecosystem, allowing developers to extend Claude’s capabilities through NVIDIA Verified Agent Skills.
The integration enables enterprises to equip AI agents with domain-specific expertise, supporting more specialized applications across industries while leveraging NVIDIA’s accelerated computing infrastructure.
Organizations deploying Claude on Azure can also use NVIDIA’s Secure Agent Workspace Reference Design, which provides a framework for operating autonomous AI agents within governed enterprise environments.
The architecture incorporates infrastructure-level controls for identity management, network access, credentials, and runtime policies to support secure enterprise AI deployments.
“The next wave of AI will be defined by agentic applications that require fast, efficient, and scalable inference,” said Marc Domenech, Vice President, Enterprise, META Southern Europe at NVIDIA.
“NVIDIA Blackwell is purpose-built for this new era, and we’re excited to see Claude available on Microsoft Foundry on Azure running on NVIDIA GB300 systems, helping enterprises bring advanced AI into production with greater performance and efficiency.”
The general availability of Claude on Microsoft Foundry builds on the strategic partnership announced by Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Anthropic in November to expand enterprise access to Claude models using NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform.
The collaboration reflects growing industry demand for enterprise-grade AI infrastructure capable of supporting increasingly autonomous AI applications.
As organizations move beyond AI assistants toward agentic systems that can independently perform business functions, cloud providers and chipmakers are investing heavily in high-performance AI infrastructure designed to deliver greater scalability, security, and cost-efficient inference.
Why Microsoft’s Partnership with NVIDIA Matters to MENA
The partnership highlights the growing availability of enterprise-grade AI infrastructure that businesses and governments across the Middle East can leverage to deploy secure, scalable AI applications. As organizations move from AI experimentation to production, access to advanced AI models on trusted cloud platforms is becoming increasingly important.
For MENA, the collaboration supports the region’s accelerating investments in AI transformation, sovereign cloud, and digital infrastructure. Enterprises building AI solutions in sectors such as finance, healthcare, energy, and government can benefit from high-performance AI platforms capable of powering autonomous AI agents while meeting growing demands for scalability, security, and operational efficiency.
