<p>Code will be generated, not written. Most enterprise AI workloads are net-new microservices. Modular, greenfield work. Perfect for coding agents. The catch? Out-of-the-box agents lack domain knowledge about your SDKs and patterns. But frontier LLMs are extraordinarily sample efficient. The patterns you need are already encoded in their latent space from pretraining. All you need […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/context-driven-development-agent-skills-for-microsoft-foundry-and-azure/">Context-Driven Development: Agent Skills for Microsoft Foundry and Azure</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>1. Introduction AI coding agents/assistants such as GitHub Copilot have become common in modern software engineering workflows. Their strengths—rapid pattern completion, context-aware suggestions, and the ability to learn style from local code—stem from broad training on large corpora of public, general-purpose code. They perform best when the languages, libraries, and idioms requested by developers align […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/ai-coding-agents-domain-specific-languages/">AI Coding Agents and Domain-Specific Languages: Challenges and Practical Mitigation Strategies</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>

<p>The path from prototype to production for AI/ML workloads is rarely straightforward. As data pipelines expand and model complexity grows, teams can find themselves spending more time orchestrating distributed compute than building the intelligence that powers their products. Scaling from a laptop experiment to a production-grade workload still feels like reinventing the wheel. What if […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure/powering-distributed-aiml-at-scale-with-azure-and-anyscale/">Powering Distributed AI/ML at Scale with Azure and Anyscale</a> appeared first on <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/all-things-azure">All things Azure</a>.</p>
