Open Chat Playground (OCP) is a web UI that is able to connect virtually any LLM from any platform.
Visual, demo-ready multi-agent orchestration patterns powered by Foundry Local and Microsoft Agent Framework. Six runnable demos with live D3.js graph animations, real-time message tracing, and event replay
Fine-Tune End-to-End Distillation Models with Azure AI Foundry Models and Foundry Local
Agent Engineering experiment, practices, codes, specs...
Foundry Local is an on-device AI inference solution that you use to run AI models locally through a CLI, SDK, or REST API
How Microsoft Agent Framework can orchestrate multiple specialised agents locally using Foundry Local How a coding agent can generate and execute a standalone Python application as part of an agent workflow How you can use tool calling with model which support tooling How planner and reviewer agents can be composed
A secure, on-device document analysis tool using Foundry Local & Microsoft Agent Framework
This provides sample codes that uses Microsoft.Extensions.AI for locally running LLMs through Docker Model Runner, Foundry Local, Hugging Face and Ollama
Task management for AI coding agents — and the humans who use them. No cloud, no subscription.
Demos and sample code for building AI-powered apps with local on-device models on Windows — using Windows AI APIs, Foundry Local, Windows ML, and WebNN. From Microsoft Build 2026.
Local-first .NET 10 sample integrating Microsoft Agent Framework with Foundry Local through a Microsoft.Extensions.AI IChatClient adapter.
.NET is also capable of building AI infused app really easily. This repository provides several sample apps using Microsoft.Extensions.AI, Azure AI Foundry, Foundry Local and MCP server/client.
Generate comprehensive onboarding documentation for any repository using a hybrid AI approach: Foundry Local for privacy-sensitive local inference (no data leaves your machine) Microsoft Foundry for cloud-hosted models with higher quality and faster inference Copilot SDK patterns for orchestration and multi-step workflows Agent Skills for reusable
Give a local model one bounded job. Keep the final decision in Copilot.
