Open Weights Get an Enterprise Loading Dock

Microsoft and Hugging Face are previewing a weekly refreshed collection of open-weight models for Foundry Managed Compute. Candidate models pass license and security screening, avoid unreviewed remote-code paths, and ship with signed, scanned runtimes matched to their architectures. Weights are pre-staged in Azure, while deployment uses the same identity, networking, monitoring, and billing surface as other Foundry models. The arrangement narrows the operational gap between finding an open model and running it inside an enterprise boundary.
