By

NEW EPISODE: @jack & @roelofbotha unpack @blocks 40% staff cut and rebuilding the entire company as a mini-AGI.

Azure’s OpenAI Traffic Share Grows 4x in 10 Weeks
By
–
The LangSmith Signal: Azure's share of OpenAI traffic grew nearly 4x in under 3 months. We're sharing how devs are building agents, by the numbers. While most orgs started by connecting directly to OpenAI, over the past 10 weeks we've watched Azure's share of that traffic grow from 8% to 29%. We've analyzed this trend via LangSmith Observability data across more than 6.7 billion agent runs. Our hypothesis: 💡 Early adopters moved fast and went direct, but the enterprise wave is now arriving in force 💡 Azure gives teams the compliance, security, and procurement infrastructure they already have in place 💡 Azure traffic 4x-ing in 10 weeks likely indicates AI development is maturing quickly
