Platforms shift when developers build. We explore, choose tools, dream, create.
This platform shift comes with more information than ever, ready at your fingertips. This shift, it’s about building fast AND THEN: it’s about building, operating, optimizing and observing. Securing your infrastructure, applications and agents in a seamless way that doesn’t slow you down from the moment you open your laptop to the moment you ship to production.
But there’s a duality in being a developer – you’re a tinkerer, choosing your own tools and models, and you’re an enterprise builder, shipping systems that demand governance, security and trust from day one.
Developers don’t need another way to just build and run an agent or app. They need trust. They need native context and knowledge. Most of all, they need choice to access the right model for the right problem.
This duality is where Microsoft thrives. We ask: what does it mean to be a modern developer today? And at Microsoft Build, we shared how we empower developers to build in this era of ubiquitous intelligence with the controls and security you expect at scale – on a platform that’s model diverse, open and heterogeneous at every layer of the stack. Bringing together what you know with what the world knows natively.
