“At NVIDIA, we use autonomous AI agents every day to help our teams move faster and think bigger. Claude models bring strong reasoning, coding and enterprise capabilities that are valuable for complex technical work. With Claude now available in Microsoft Foundry running on NVIDIA GB300 GPUs, more organizations can run advanced, specialized AI agents with the performance, scale and security needed for production.”
“Running Claude models on Azure has given us the sustained throughput and reliability our enterprise customers expect. The combination of frontier model quality and enterprise-grade infrastructure is what makes Bolt viable for the Fortune 500.”
“Between Anthropic and Azure, we get the best capabilities in the world and we get the best security in the world. And that's exactly what nuclear needs. It's how we compressed a safety analysis that would have taken 200 human days into a single day.”
“Our customers describe their tests in plain English, and Momentic runs through the interface to verify everything works before a release ships. We found Claude Opus especially suited to this, and running it on Azure Foundry we now serve millions of tokens per minute with the reliability our customers depend on.”
