New capabilities in Azure AI Foundry to build advanced agentic applications

Microsoft continues to evolve the technologies it offers to customers and partners so they can push the boundaries of innovation! Here is a summary of just a few announcements for Microsoft’s 50^th anniversary. Check out the blog for more!

• General availability of agent framework that you can use to simplify the orchestration of multi-agent systems for your customers. See how KPMG is using Semantic Kernel to orchestrate workflows among specialized agents, dramatically reducing development complexity. 
• The advanced observability suite for evaluations, tracing, and A/B testing—giving developers unprecedented visibility into agent behaviors and outcomes. Use the observability suite to build more robust AI systems for your customers.
• AI Red Teaming Agent (public preview) helps uncover safety risks through comprehensive reports, tracking improvements over time. Mitigate risks in AI so your customers feel more comfortable in investing in AI and in your services. See what Accenture has to say about the AI Red Teaming Agent.
• With Azure AI Foundry extension for Visual Studio Code (public preview), developers can build, test, and deploy agent-based applications entirely within their Integrated Development Environment (IDE)—no context switching required. Improved developer experience leads to faster development times.
