How Microsoft Frontier Tuning works

A minimalist graphic with five horizontal lines and five brown circles, each circle placed on a different line, in varying horizontal positions. The background is light grey.

Define your task and what success looks like.

A simple diagram with six curved lines, each leading from a colored circle at the top (in different colors) down to a single pink circle at the bottom center, all lines converging at the pink circle.

Feed in your data, workflows, and expertise from M365 and beyond.

A square maze with a green path leading from the bottom left entrance to the center, marked by a green dot. The maze has solid black walls and dotted inner lines.

Improve performance through training and iterative optimization.

Five brown circles are aligned vertically, each at the top of a semicircle. The semicircles increase in size from bottom to top and share the same center point at the bottom.

Deploy in Foundry or Copilot. Continuously improve from real usage.

A few of our early adopters

Featured Partners

We are collaborating with Mayo Clinic to co-create a frontier AI model for healthcare that brings together Mayo Clinic’s world-leading clinical expertise, de-identified clinical data and longitudinal insights with our foundational AI capabilities. We expect it to enable a broad range of capabilities, including earlier diagnoses and treatment planning, making Mayo Clinic’s expertise accessible to many more who need it.
