# Azure OpenAI models and regions for Foundry Agent Service (classic)

[!INCLUDE [classic-banner](../../includes/agents-classic.md)]

Azure OpenAI models power agents in Foundry Agent Service. To use these models, you need a [Microsoft Foundry project](../../what-is-foundry.md) with access to Agent Service. Use the tabs to find a supported model, deployment type, and region combination. For details on deployment types, see [Deployment types for Microsoft Foundry Models](../../foundry-models/concepts/deployment-types.md).

Agents (classic) are deprecated. To use models later than gpt-5, see the [agents (new) documentation](../../../foundry/agents/overview.md).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> - [Hub-based projects](../../what-is-foundry.md#types-of-projects) are limited to the following models: gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4, and gpt-35-turbo.
> - For information on Class A subnet support, see the [setup guide on GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft-foundry/foundry-samples/tree/main/infrastructure/infrastructure-setup-bicep/15-private-network-standard-agent-setup).

- **gpt-5 family** (gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano, gpt-5-chat): Frontier-scale reasoning for complex, multi-step tasks. [Registration](https://aka.ms/openai/gpt-5/2025-08-07) is required. These models can use only the [code interpreter](../how-to/tools-classic/code-interpreter.md) and [file search](../how-to/tools-classic/file-search.md) tools.
- **gpt-4.1 family** (gpt-4.1, gpt-4.1-mini, gpt-4.1-nano): Cost-effective models for general-purpose agent workloads.
- **gpt-4o family** (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini): Multimodal capabilities with vision support.
- **gpt-4 and gpt-35-turbo**: Legacy models for backward compatibility.

## Non-OpenAI models

In addition to Azure OpenAI models, you can use Foundry Models sold by Azure. These models offer specialized capabilities for specific use cases, such as deterministic reasoning or high-throughput generation.

[!INCLUDE [agent-service-models-support-list](../../../foundry/agents/includes/agent-service-models-support-list.md)]

## Verify model support

Model availability can change over time. To check what you can deploy for your project and region:

1. [!INCLUDE [classic-sign-in](../../../foundry/includes/classic-sign-in.md)]
1. Go to the **Model catalog**.
1. Filter the models by **Capabilities** and select **Agent supported**.

If you use provisioned throughput, make sure you have provisioned throughput units (PTUs) available in the target region. For background, see [Provisioned throughput](../../openai/concepts/provisioned-throughput.md).

## Troubleshooting

### A model or version isn't available in your region

- Confirm you selected the right tab for your deployment type.
- Try a different region that supports the model and version.
- If you're using gpt-5 models, make sure your subscription has access. Some models require registration.

### File search isn't available

- File search isn't available in Italy North and Brazil South. Choose a supported region, or use a different tool.

### Provisioned throughput deployment fails

- Confirm you have enough PTUs available in the region.
- Review [Provisioned throughput](../../openai/concepts/provisioned-throughput.md) and [Spillover traffic management](../../openai/how-to/spillover-traffic-management.md).
