🌟 Excited and honored to share this! 🌟I’ve been recognized as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) 2025 🏆 in the AI Platform category, focusing on Generative AI within Azure AI Foundry and Azure AI Services. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege to: -Participate as an expert and proctor at Microsoft Ignite and Microsoft Build -Share knowledge in multiple sessions at Microsoft Reactor. -Organize, together with the Global AI Community, the Global AI Bootcamp Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 with the NET-Baires community, where we keep driving knowledge in AI and .NET-Actively collaborate with technologies like Generative AI .NET, Python, and Copilot Studio, helping professionals and companies boost their projects with artificial intelligence. Thanks to every person, community, and team I’ve had the chance to learn from, exchange ideas with, and build together. This recognition is an extra push to keep creating, exploring, and taking Generative AI to places we can’t even imagine yet 🚀 credly.com/badges/3804927e-5… #MVPBuzz #AzureAIFoundry #GenerativeAI #AIPlatform #AzureAI #AIcoding #AI #dotnet #Python #CopilotStudio #GlobalAICommunity #NetBaires #MicrosoftIgnite #MicrosoftBuild #MicrosoftReactor #GlobalAIBootcamp #artificialintelligence

MAI-Code-1-Flash is now rolled out to 100% of GitHub Copilot Free, Education, Pro, Pro , and Max subscribers in @code!

We’re introducing a new GitHub Certified: Agentic AI Developer (GH-600). As AI agents become part of modern development workflows, this role-based certification focuses on how developers and teams operate, supervise, and integrate agents across the SDLC. If you’re already working with tools like GitHub Copilot or exploring agent-driven workflows, we’d love your input. Learn more and get involved. msft.it/6013vRHHZ

A few weeks ago, I wrote about something the AI industry is already starting to face: The end of “all you can eat” AI 🤖 April 2026 made it clear that flat-rate AI pricing is beginning to break down. What comes next for developers and companies? 👇 dev.to/ppiova/the-end-of-all…

🚀 GPT-chat-latest is live in Microsoft Foundry. OpenAI's newest chat model (GPT-5.5 Instant), now in the catalog: ✅ 52.5% fewer hallucinations ✅ 25-30% shorter responses ✅ Smarter tool calling better RAG context Built for multi-turn assistants and agents. #MicrosoftFoundry #MVPBuzz 🔗 techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

Across the globe, MVPs are sharing their expertise not just through talks and community leadership—but through the books they write.

The era of isolated copilots is over. GPT-5.5 lands in Microsoft Foundry and the message is clear: it's no longer about assisting, it's about executing. Three things that change with this announcement: • Agents running in production with their own Entra identity, isolated sandbox and scale-to-zero pricing. Not demos, real workloads. • Real token efficiency: GPT-5.5 reaches higher-quality output with fewer tokens and fewer retries. Lower cost, lower latency. • Agentic execution across code, research and multi-step tasks. The model diagnoses, proposes, synthesizes and delivers. Foundry is consolidating as the operating system to run thousands of enterprise agents with real governance. Here's the uncomfortable part for many teams: if your AI roadmap is still chatbot RAG, you're already a generation behind.

From "nice demo" to "ship it". 🚀 GPT-image-2 is now GA in Microsoft Foundry. What stands out: 🔹 4K photorealistic output at custom dimensions 🔹 Real-world intelligence with thinking capabilities: the model can search the web, validate its own output, and return multiple variants from one prompt 🔹 Multilingual rendering in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and Bengali 🔹 Intelligent routing layer that picks the right config per prompt 🔹 Azure AI Content Safety baked in Retail thumbnails, localized campaigns, storyboard panels, UX mockups. All at the exact specs your pipeline expects. What's the first workflow you'd rewire with this? 🔗 techcommunity.microsoft.com/… #MicrosoftFoundry #OpenAI #GPTimage2 #MLOps #AIInnovation #FutureOfWork #MVPBuzz

Finding MCP servers for the Microsoft ecosystem was painful. Scattered across repos, threads, blogs nobody indexed. So I shipped 3 Docker-first MCP servers a curated catalog of everything else. Pull, run, fork, PR 👇 github.com/ppiova/mcp-server…
