Description
Summary
Add first-class support for Microsoft AI model families across chat, Responses API, embeddings, and images.
User Value
Admins can configure Microsoft-hosted model capabilities consistently without treating each surface as a one-off integration.
Proposed Behavior
Clarify which hosting surfaces are in scope, such as Azure OpenAI, Foundry Models, Foundry Agents, and other Microsoft-hosted endpoints. Define provider capability discovery, model-type support, admin validation, fallback behavior, and how chat, embeddings, responses, and image generation should share configuration patterns.
Acceptance Criteria
- In-scope Microsoft model hosting surfaces are identified and documented.
- Chat, Responses API, embeddings, and image generation support paths are mapped to the relevant configuration surfaces.
- Existing model endpoint and Foundry behavior is not duplicated or regressed.
- Follow-up implementation issues are created if the work needs staged delivery.
Notes
Relevant anchors: model endpoint clients, multi-endpoint model selection, Foundry support.
Related: #472 tracks Responses API support for thinking models; #76 covered AI Foundry model support.
Roadmap defaults: Priority P2, Size L.
