Anthropic's Claude models are now generally available inside Microsoft Foundry, hosted on Microsoft Azure and running on Nvidia's GB300 "Blackwell Ultra" GPUs, according to the Nvidia Blog.
The move brings three of the biggest names in AI together in one stack: Anthropic supplies the Claude models, Microsoft provides the Azure cloud and its Foundry developer platform, and Nvidia provides the underlying GB300 chips that do the heavy computation.
Nvidia frames the launch around enterprise customers. The combination, it says, gives "Azure-native enterprises" — companies that already build on Microsoft's cloud — a powerful new way to create autonomous and domain-specific AI agents. In plain terms, agents are AI systems that can carry out multi-step tasks on their own rather than simply answering a single question, and "domain-specific" means tuned for a particular industry or business function.
Nvidia points to the broader shift toward what it calls agentic AI as the driver behind the deployment. As more businesses look to hand off complex workflows to AI, demand grows for both capable models and the specialized hardware to run them quickly and at scale.
The news was also reported by Crypto Briefing, Investing.com, and Let's Data Science, each noting that Claude now runs on Nvidia GB300 Blackwell Ultra systems via Microsoft Azure. "General availability" is a meaningful milestone in software: it signals the offering has moved past limited testing and is now open for any qualifying customer to use in production.
Why it matters: pairing Anthropic's models with Nvidia's newest chips on Microsoft's cloud lowers the barrier for mainstream businesses to deploy advanced AI agents — and deepens the ties between the three companies shaping how that technology gets built and sold.
