Azure OpenAI: GPT-5-Codex Availability?
Greetings everyone! I just wanted to see if there's any word as to when/if https://openai.com/index/introducing-upgrades-to-codex/ will make it's way to the AI Foundry. It was released on September 15th, 2025, but I have no idea how long Azure tends to follow behind OpenAI's releases. It doesn't really seem like there's any source of information to view whenever new models drop as to what Azure is going to do with them, if any. Any conversation around this would be helpful and appreciated, thanks!
Agent in Azure AI Foundry not able to access SharePoint data via C# (but works in Foundry portal)
Hi Team, I created an agent in Azure AI Foundry and added a knowledge source using the SharePoint tool. When I test the agent inside the Foundry portal, it works correctly; it can read from the SharePoint site and return file names/data. However, when I call the same agent using C# code, it answers normal questions fine, but whenever I ask about the SharePoint data, I get the error: Sorry, something went wrong. Run status: failed I also referred to the official documentation and sample here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/agents/how-to/tools/sharepoint-samples?pivots=rest I tried the cURL samples as well, and while the agent is created successfully, the run status always comes back as failed. Has anyone faced this issue? Do I need to configure something extra for SharePoint when calling the agent programmatically (like additional permissions or connection binding)? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Introducing AzureImageSDK — A Unified .NET SDK for Azure Image Generation And Captioning
Hello 👋 I'm excited to share something I've been working on — AzureImageSDK — a modern, open-source .NET SDK that brings together Azure AI Foundry's image models (like Stable Image Ultra, Stable Image Core), along with Azure Vision and content moderation APIs and Image Utilities, all in one clean, extensible library. While working with Azure’s image services, I kept hitting the same wall: Each model had its own input structure, parameters, and output format — and there was no unified, async-friendly SDK to handle image generation, visual analysis, and moderation under one roof. So... I built one. AzureImageSDK wraps Azure's powerful image capabilities into a single, async-first C# interface that makes it dead simple to: 🎨 Inferencing Image Models 🧠 Analyze visual content (Image to text) 🚦 Image Utilities — with just a few lines of code. It's fully open-source, designed for extensibility, and ready to support new models the moment they launch. 🔗 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/DrHazemAli/AzureImageSDK Also, I've posted the release announcement on the https://github.com/orgs/azure-ai-foundry/discussions/47 👉🏻 feel free to join the conversation there too. The SDK is available on NuGet too. Would love to hear your thoughts, use cases, or feedback!How to Build AI Agents in 10 Lessons

I was introduced to AI foundry and Github Model Marketplace at Ignite and there seems like some overlap when evaluating models. Can anybody give me use cases for each, how they might work in concert, if AI Foundry can be used in lieu of Github Marketplace, or anything else useful about the Veen diagram of these two products.
Error when creating an index from a data source in azure cognitive search
I was recently tasked with indexing our Azure Blob Storage account (1.2tb). I am currently using the free version of Cog. Search (50mb storage limit). The issue I'm having is after I import data and create an indexer I get the following Import configuration failed, error creating Index Error creating Index: "" What causes the issue to arise and how do I fix it? Is it a problem that I'm using the free version and so the storage isn't enough?
