I am trying to setup an OpenAI service with gpt-4o, however there is no "deployment" option within my OpenAI resource. I have tried on different browsers, incognito and clearing cache. I've signed out and in again and I've tried creating the OpenAI resource under different regions; UK South, West Europe and Sweden Central and the option still isn't there. On the overview it only says to open the Foundry portal, but I can't deploy a model to my OpenAI anywhere?Screenshot 2025-07-30 123755

    Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    Azure has moved GPT4o and other newer model deployments to the Azure AI Foundry portal. The classic “Deployments” blade in the Azure OpenAI resource (visible in the Azure portal) is no longer available for newer regions or GPT4o access. The only way to explore and deploy GPT4o and other new models is via the Azure AI Foundry portal.

    To deploy gpt4o or any model now...

    1. Go to the Azure AI Foundry portal
    2. Sign in with your Azure account.
    3. From there, you can:
      • Deploy models including GPT4, gPT4O
      • Manage endpoints
      • Use notebooks, prompt flow, and model fine tuning
      • Use your Azure OpenAI resource subscription and quota

    If you are integrating gpt4o into your app:

    Deploy it from Foundry

    Use the https://{your-resource-name}.openai.azure.com endpoint and your keys (from “Keys and Endpoint” tab) in your code or Postman
