Where research
becomes reality

Foundry Labs bridges the distance between Microsoft breakthroughs and the builders, scientists, and curious minds who can put them to work.

Discover & explore

See where AI is accelerating breakthroughs across robotics, applied sciences, healthcare, and beyond, with 50+ cutting-edge, interactive projects from Microsoft.

Experiment & build

Take any Foundry Labs experiment directly into your workflow and deploy through Microsoft Foundry or GitHub in minutes. Fork, remix, and build on the underlying code to turn early research into production-ready solutions.

Connect

Join 25,000+ active developers across Discord and GitHub Discussions, with live events and open-source courses to learn alongside the community. Engage directly with Microsoft teams and share feedback that shapes the direction of tomorrow’s AI.

AI advances fast.
Access to it should too.

AI breakthroughs are happening faster than ever. But the gap between a research paper and real-world impact has historically been too big.

Foundry Labs was created to close that gap. We take experiments out of the lab and put them directly in the hands of builders and researchers. The result is an interactive platform where you can discover, experiment, and build upon.

Where we focus

Six domains. Dozens of open questions. One shared goal: making AI that matters available to everyone.

Geospatial & Earth Science

Foundation models for the natural world — turning satellite, atmospheric, and sensor data into forecasts and decisions in seconds.

Robotics & Physical AI

Foundation models that give machines a shared understanding of space, objects, and intent — across factories, hospitals, and the road.

Biomedical Sciences

Foundation models that treat proteins, molecules, and disease as code — compressing years of lab work into hours of computation.

Code & Software Engineering

Models, environments, and agents that understand intent, hunt down bugs, and help every developer ship better software, faster.

Creative & Generative Media

Models that bring images, 3D worlds, sound, and interactive experiences to life from a single idea.

Chemistry & Materials

AI emulators replacing brute-force simulation — designing materials and planning their synthesis at decades-into-months speed.

A living laboratory where Microsoft breakthroughs become hands-on experiments.
