Investing.com -- Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s Azure Container Apps serverless GPUs are set to deploy the recently released artificial intelligence (AI) model, DeepSeek-R1, according to the company’s representative, Cary Chai. The announcement was made Wednesday, further highlighting the rapid evolution and innovation in the AI sector.

Azure Container Apps is a managed serverless container platform designed to deploy and run containerized applications. The platform reduces infrastructure management, saving costs for users. With the addition of serverless GPU support, users gain the flexibility to bring any containerized workload, including new language models, and deploy them to a platform that scales automatically with customer demand.

The serverless GPU support also offers optimized cold start, per-second billing, and reduced operational overhead. This allows users to focus on the core components of their applications when utilizing GPUs. Furthermore, AI applications can run alongside non-AI apps on the same platform, within the same environment, sharing networking, observability, and security capabilities.

DeepSeek-R1, released just last week, has quickly gained traction in the AI space. The model can now be deployed using Azure Container Apps serverless GPUs and Ollama, a tool designed to facilitate the process. This integration is expected to further streamline AI application development and deployment, offering more flexibility and efficiency for users.
