GitLab Duo expands self-hosted AI options via Microsoft Foundry

On October 1, 2026, InfoQ China reported that GitLab Duo has expanded its self-hosted AI options through Microsoft Foundry. According to that report, the change gives enterprises a path to running AI capabilities inside their own environments. The report did not disclose the scope of what is supported, nor did it give a release date. As a result, the details that can be verified so far are limited: the product involved is GitLab Duo, the platform it draws on is Microsoft Foundry, the change concerns an expansion of self-hosted AI options, and the target is enterprise environments. Everything else — which features are covered, when they become available, and which deployment models they apply to — is absent from the public material. The story currently rests at that point, with no further developments reported.
