Claude in Azure with .NET – Anthropic Claude + Microsoft Extensions.AI (MEAI) 💥 Hi👋Great news for .NET developers: Anthropic’s Claude models (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.1) are now available in Microsoft Foundry (public preview anthropic.com). This makes Azure the only cloud platform providing access to both OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude frontier models side-by-side (azure.microsoft.com). In practical terms, you can deploy a Claude model to your Microsoft Foundry resource and consume it through Azure’s familiar endpoints and billing system, just like an Azure OpenAI model.

Claude is now in Azure! 🤯
I built a .NET client to use Anthropic's models in C# with MEAI and Agent Framework. Stream responses, run Claude in agents, and more 💥 Includes code, NuGet, and a demo video. #dotnet #azure #ai #claude #anthropic #meai #elbruno
