Partner Spotlight- Topic: Hands on With Claude in Microsoft Foundry
Join Anthropic for interactive demos of the Claude model family in Microsoft Foundry. They will share guidance on when to use each model and showcase Claude Opus 4.6, Anthropic's most capable model to date, as it connects insights across complex data and automates multi-step tasks. We will also have Scott Kennedy, VP of Engineering at Replit, joining us to showcase how they use Claude models in their production use case.

Tech Spotlight- Topic: Microsoft Foundry Agents
Microsoft Foundry is a unified platform that combines models, tools, frameworks, and governance into a unified system for building intelligent agents. The Foundry Agent Service connects platform components into a unified runtime with core functionality to deliver secure, scalable, and production-ready agents. Join us as we talk to Bala Venkataraman about what's new and what's next for Microsoft Foundry Agents.

Discover how to run powerful AI models entirely on-device using Foundry Local. We’ll cover the architecture, how to compile Hugging Face models for local execution, and how to integrate everything with LangChain.js. You’ll also see a compact Android demo showcasing low-latency, offline AI experiences. By the end, you’ll know how to set up, optimize, and build local-first AI apps, and how to join the private preview to go deeper.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT - Speed, Scale, and Control with Black Forest Labs Image Models in Microsoft Foundry
Stephen Batifol, Developer Advocate at Black Forest Labs, joins Model Mondays to show how teams use BFL’s generative image models on Microsoft Foundry to move from experimentation to real‑world creative workflows at scale with fewer touch‑ups, stronger brand fidelity, and state‑of‑the‑art image quality. This hands‑on session features a live demo and practical patterns for building scalable image pipelines, so you can ship complete creative campaigns in days, not weeks.

TECH SPOTLIGHT - Observability in Microsoft Foundry
Building trustworthy AI agents requires an end-to-end observability capability that lets us trace, monitor, and evaluate, agentic task execution at enterprise scale. Join us as we talk to Sebastian Kohlmeier (Principal PM, Core AI @Microsoft) about Observability capabilities in Microsoft Foundry - from tracing to evaluations, monitoring and more.
