Summary
Microsoft made Moonshot AI's Kimi K2.7 Code available in public preview on Microsoft Foundry starting July 1, 2026, adding the open-weight, token-efficient coding model to its managed model catalog for building and deploying agents on Azure. The move gives Foundry customers a first-party path to the same Chinese open-weight model that also arrived in GitHub Copilot the same week.
What changed
Microsoft added Kimi K2.7 Code to the Microsoft Foundry model catalog in public preview, hosting the open-weight coding model on Azure for agent development.
Why it matters
Onboarding Kimi K2.7 Code into Foundry, distinct from its Copilot picker debut, extends open-weight coding models from the IDE into Microsoft's managed agent-building platform. It shows Azure positioning itself as the enterprise-governed host for high-performing Chinese open models across both developer tooling and production agent stacks.
