xAI just announced that Grok 4.7 so I wanted to try their model with C#. This isn’t another incremental update—it’s a model specifically architected for advanced reasoning, long-horizon problem solving, software engineering, and agentic workflows. For .NET developers building enterprise applications with AI capabilities, here’s what actually matters and how to put it to work. […]
Tag: Agentic AI
Most of the calls inside a production .NET agent are not “write me a paragraph.” They are small, repeated judgments: which team owns this ticket, is this reply promising a refund, how severe is this incident, should the agent continue or hand off. Those steps still get sent to a frontier chat model because that […]
When I wrote about GPT-6 Astra, the interesting question was: Can an agent take a messy problem, investigate it, and hand back something worth reviewing? The examples were deliberately substantial: bug investigations, BI recommendations, template-based reports, approval-gated record updates, and long-document synthesis. Now there is a different question: Can you afford to do that every […]
Anthropic’s newest model, Claude Opus 5.5, just landed — meaning if you’re already building with Claude, you can call Anthropic’s most capable coding-and-reasoning model with a resource API key. Here’s what’s actually new, and how it looks from C#. What Actually Shipped A few facts worth knowing before you touch any code: 40% cheaper than […]
The next era of enterprise AI isn’t going to be defined by chat experiences. It’s going to be defined by how well a model can actually work for you — not just talk at you. GPT-6 Astra, OpenAI’s newest frontier model, is now generally available for all customers in Microsoft Foundry. Instead of optimizing for […]
Grok 4.6 — SpaceXAI’s latest frontier model — just landed in public preview in Microsoft Foundry as an Azure Direct Model. The headline isn’t “another big model dropped.” It’s that Grok 4.6 is built specifically for long-horizon, agentic work: planning across many steps, calling tools reliably, recovering when something goes wrong, and handing you a […]
Every time Microsoft ships a new model into Foundry, I ask myself the same boring-but-important question: does this change anything for the way I actually write code? Most of the time the answer is “cool demo, doesn’t affect my day job.” This time it’s different. MAI-Thinking-1 — Microsoft’s first reasoning model — just went into […]
Demo code located at https://github.com/taswar/KimiFoundryDemo There are a lot of AI model announcements these days. But every now and then one lands that feels immediately practical for real engineering work. Kimi K2.7 Code from Moonshot AI showing up in Microsoft Foundry feels like one of those releases. Microsoft and Moonshot AI have made Kimi K2.7 […]
Sample code located at https://github.com/taswar/CohereCommandAPlusDemo Enterprise AI teams have a familiar problem. You need multilingual support because your users are in Germany, Japan, and Brazil. You need document understanding because half your data lives in scanned PDFs and screenshots. You need tool calling because your agents have to actually do things, not just talk about […]
There are a lot of AI model announcements these days, but every now and then one lands that feels immediately practical for real engineering work. Claude Opus 4.8 showing up in Microsoft Foundry feels like one of those releases. Microsoft is positioning Claude Opus 4.8 around coding, agentic workflows, and deeper reasoning for enterprise scenarios, […]
