Azure AI Foundry Basic

Run a Phi-4 agent through the classic Azure AI Inference adapter, with a link to the current Foundry API.

This source uses Agno's classic AzureAIFoundry adapter and the azure-ai-inference package, which Microsoft retired on August 26, 2026. Existing endpoint availability is separate from SDK retirement. For a new integration, use the current Foundry API setup with a compatible deployment. The classic setup below applies only to an existing compatible endpoint unless a current adaptation is explicitly provided.
