Azure AI Foundry's Model Router has been upgraded with GPT-5 models, including GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, GPT-5 Nano, and GPT-5 Chat. The Model Router is a deployable AI chat model that automatically selects the optimal large language model for each prompt based on complexity, performance needs, and cost efficiency. The tutorial demonstrates how to deploy and use the Model Router through the Azure AI Foundry portal, including code examples for single requests and multi-turn conversations using Python and the Azure OpenAI SDK.
