11 min · Reviewed 2026
The premise
Azure AI Foundry packages evaluation pipelines as promotion-gates so model releases pass through quality, safety, and cost checks before traffic ramps.
What AI does well here
Run evaluator suites against candidate models on shared fixtures
Require minimum safety and quality scores to advance to production stages
Generate audit-friendly reports tied to release IDs
What AI cannot do
Define what good means for your domain without your fixtures
Substitute for human reviewers on sensitive content categories
Guarantee identical scores across reruns of stochastic evaluators
