Anthropic has announced that Claude models hosted on Microsoft Azure and powered by NVIDIA GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs are now generally available through Microsoft Foundry. This offering gives Azure-native enterprises access to powerful computing resources for building and deploying specialized autonomous agents that can accelerate business tasks across domains.

The deployment leverages NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 systems with NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking, enabling enterprises to build and run more powerful agentic systems including autonomous and specialized sub-agents designed to handle advanced tasks across different business areas. NVIDIA is collaborating with Anthropic to integrate NVIDIA tools into the Anthropic stack, allowing enterprises to give Claude agents domain-specific capabilities through NVIDIA verified agent skills.

For governance and security, enterprises can deploy Claude agents on Azure using the NVIDIA Secure Agent Workspace Reference Design, which provides a blueprint for running autonomous agents in controlled environments where identity, network access, credentials and runtime policy are managed at the infrastructure level. This arrangement enables organizations to embed AI agents deeply into their business operations and use them as core organizational infrastructure.

This launch builds on a strategic partnership among Microsoft, NVIDIA and Anthropic that was announced in November to expand enterprise access to Claude and make Anthropic models available on NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms.
