Build collaborative agents into apps with APIs | ODSP926
Omni agent API ships real-time multimodal video agents on Azure at 1 cent per render minute.
“The omni agent API runs at only 1 cent per render minute when you bring your own LLM. That's roughly 20 times cheaper than the alternatives.”
Microsoft announced an Azure-native Omni agent API that lets developers deploy real-time multimodal video agents into apps at roughly 1 cent per render minute, about 20x cheaper than alternatives, while reusing existing Azure governance, billing, and any deployed LLM. The cost reduction reframes production multimodal video agents from proof-of-concept to scalable production tooling, with early deployments at large enterprises like Siemens field service.
