    Model Catalog

    One catalog of 11,000+ models to choose, compare, and govern.

    The Microsoft Foundry Model Catalog gives access to 11,000+ models — from Microsoft, OpenAI, and the open ecosystem — in one place to discover, compare, and select the right model for each use case, with benchmarks and deployment options. Faltrox helps you choose models on the risk and governance criteria that matter, not just capability.

    Overview

    What Model Catalog is

    Choosing the right model for a use case — balancing capability, cost, latency, and governance — is hard when models are scattered across providers. The Microsoft Foundry Model Catalog brings 11,000+ models into one place to discover, compare, and select from, with benchmarks and consistent deployment.

    It offers models from Microsoft, OpenAI, and the open-source ecosystem, with benchmark information, capability and cost comparison, and a consistent path to deployment. Faltrox helps you choose models not only on capability but on the risk and governance criteria that matter — data residency, licensing, and security posture — so the model behind an AI application is a governed choice, not just a capable one.

    Microsoft products this pairs with, and the Faltrox services that operate it.

    Delivery

    You buy the outcome, not the console

    Managed by Faltrox

    Faltrox licenses, deploys, and tunes Microsoft Model Catalog for your environment, then runs it as part of a managed service, so you get the protection without staffing another security console.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    01What is the Model Catalog?

    A single catalog of 11,000+ models — from Microsoft, OpenAI, and the open-source ecosystem — to discover, compare, and select the right model for each use case, with benchmarks and a consistent path to deployment.

    02How do you choose the right model?

    On capability, cost, and latency — and, critically, governance. Faltrox helps weigh data residency, licensing, and security posture, so the model behind an AI application is a governed choice, not just the most capable one available.

    03Does it include open-source models?

    Yes — the catalog spans proprietary models (Microsoft, OpenAI) and the open-source ecosystem, so you can choose from both and switch as needs change, all from one catalog and deployment path.

    04Why does model choice have security implications?

    Different models carry different data-residency, licensing, and safety characteristics — where data is processed, what the licence permits, and how the model behaves under adversarial input. Faltrox factors those risk criteria into model selection.

    05How does Faltrox help?

    We help you choose models on the risk and governance criteria that matter alongside capability, and we secure and red-team the AI applications and agents built on the chosen model through our AI/LLM penetration testing service.
