Microsoft models and prices
16 models, 3 with a published price , 1 with open weights · released 2024-04-16 to 2026-07-30.
You can buy from Microsoft directly, or from 3 other hosts
We hold offerings sold by Microsoft itself as well as by independent hosts. Buying direct is not automatically the cheapest route, and it is not automatically the same product either — hosts differ on quantisation, served context window and rate limits. Same split as Bedrock: Azure resells OpenAI and others, so prices belong to azure.

Cheapest Microsoft models per 1M tokens
Standard on-demand tier, cheapest host per model. Media models are priced in their own unit and listed further down rather than mixed into this table.
| Model | Blended /1M | Cheapest host | Quality | Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phi 4 | $0.087 | DeepInfra | 60/100 | 16k |

Measured quality across Microsoft models
Our own probe suite at temperature 0, scored by deterministic checks — no LLM judge and no vendor claim. Measured on request, so most of the catalog is unscored; a blank is not measured, never a low score. Confidence falls when probes could not be read, which happens on models that answer in a hidden reasoning channel.
| Model | Score | Tier | Ranking probes | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WizardLM-2 8x22B | 100/100 | unrated | 1/1 | 0.365 |
| Phi 4 | 60/100 | mid | 3/5 | 1 |
Open weights from Microsoft
Parameter counts are computed from the published weight files, and licences are what the authors attached — both from the weights registry rather than from any seller. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without signing something.
| Model | Parameters | Licence | Downloads (30d) | Repo |

Who sells Microsoft models
Offering rows per seller across this vendor's models. A seller appearing many times serves many of the models, not the same one repeatedly.

Jobs these models do
Comparison on each model page is restricted to models doing the same job — a price difference between two different jobs is arithmetic rather than advice.

One API for every Microsoft model
VernaOne fronts the sellers on this page behind a single interface, so switching model or host is a config change — with automatic fallback if quality or latency regresses.

Newest first, priced or not. A model with no price is a fact about what its sellers publish, not a gap we are hiding.

Frequently asked
How many models does Microsoft have?
We track 16 Microsoft models across 2 categories, 3 of them with a published price. The list is rebuilt from provider APIs, the vendor's own docs and the weights registry rather than maintained by hand, so new releases appear without us writing about them.
Can I buy Microsoft models directly from Microsoft?
Yes — we hold offerings sold by Microsoft itself (as azure), alongside 3 other hosts. Buying direct is not automatically cheapest: each model page lists every seller with its price and the evidence behind it.
Are Microsoft models open weights?
1 of 16 have a public weights repository. Licence mix: 1 open weights permissive. Licence class decides whether you can self-host commercially without a separate agreement, so check the model page before planning a deployment.
