Redmond, WA – May 19, 2025 — Microsoft has officially integrated xAI’s Grok 3 and Grok 3 Mini language models into its Azure AI Foundry platform, offering developers and enterprise users seamless access to xAI’s cutting-edge AI technology within Azure’s robust and secure cloud ecosystem.
The addition of Grok 3 represents a major enhancement to Azure’s growing portfolio of advanced generative AI tools, aimed at supporting a wide range of applications—from natural language processing and conversational AI to content generation and enterprise automation.
Through this integration, users can now deploy xAI’s models using Azure’s scalable infrastructure, enterprise-grade compliance standards, and integrated tools for monitoring, deployment, and security. Grok 3’s availability on Azure AI Foundry is expected to broaden adoption across sectors including finance, healthcare, software development, and customer service.
“We’re excited to bring xAI’s Grok models to Azure, enabling our customers to harness the power of frontier AI safely and at scale,” said Eric Boyd, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Azure AI. “This partnership underscores our commitment to offering the most advanced AI capabilities across our cloud ecosystem.”
Grok 3, developed by xAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, is known for its conversational fluency and technical reasoning capabilities. The model has gained traction as a strong competitor in the large language model space, offering performance on par with other leading frontier models.
This collaboration also reflects the increasing openness of the AI ecosystem, with leading model providers integrating across platforms to meet growing enterprise demand for flexible, interoperable AI solutions.
Developers can access Grok 3 through Azure AI Studio and Azure OpenAI Service beginning today.
