Microsoft Foundry's Model Router now supports GPT-5.5, allowing users to dynamically select AI models based on task complexity and cost. The router offers three modes: balanced, cost, and quality, each with different trade-offs between model performance and expense. However, the author found GPT-5.5 to be prohibitively expensive for development tasks, with costs exceeding 1,000 TWD for a few hours of use, and the Model Router itself adding over 10% to the total cost. AI
IMPACT This feature offers dynamic model selection for developers on Azure, but the high cost of GPT-5.5 may limit its practical adoption for development tasks.
RANK_REASON The article discusses a new feature (Model Router support for GPT-5.5) within an existing platform (Microsoft Foundry/Azure OpenAI Service), rather than a novel model release or significant industry-wide event.
