Description

Microsoft Foundry now has a Developer Training tier, offering ultra-low-cost model training by leveraging spot capacity. It’s designed to match the affordability of Developer tier for hosting but applied to the training phase of fine-tuning workflows.​ This tier is ideal for developers testing multiple model variants, MVPs, and teams with low-throughput workloads, enabling rapid experimentation and affordable iteration before scaling production.
