Get started with Foundry Local
Windows AI Foundry integrates Foundry Local, offering developers quick access to ready-to-use open-source models on Windows Silicon. This offers the ability for developers to browse, test, interact and deploy models in their local apps. With the Foundry Local model catalog, we have done the heavy-lifting of optimizing these models across CPUs, GPUs and NPUs, making them ready-to-use.
Windows ML serves as the core of our AI platform and the integrated AI inferencing runtime on Windows. It allows developers to use their own models and deploy them efficiently across a broad silicon partner ecosystem, including AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm, supporting CPU, GPU, and NPU architectures.
