Provider deployment desk

Deploy open models
on Azure.

Enterprise deployments that need managed endpoints, identities, rollouts, and Azure controls.

Start with deployability, then compare quality

The rank is observed demand. The status is the hardware and orchestration burden on Azure.

Hand this runbook to Claude Code or Codex

Open a terminal in the repository where you want the deployment files, start claude or codex, then paste this prompt. It asks the agent to verify sources and stop before it creates billable infrastructure.

Deployment prompt
Prepare a reproducible open-model deployment project for Azure; ask me to choose one of the models on this page before selecting GPU capacity. Use this guide as the starting context: https://www.getflops.ai/models/provider/azure. Read the linked model card and provider documentation before choosing hardware or runtime settings. Open every linked primary source and flag any mismatch instead of guessing. Create a deployment folder containing README.md, .env.example with no secrets, a pinned start script or infrastructure manifest, and smoke-test.sh. Make the endpoint OpenAI-compatible where the runtime supports it. Run local/static validation, estimate the billable resources, and stop before provisioning paid infrastructure until I approve.
Guardrails included No secrets in files · verify primary docs · approval before spend
