Latest update (11-11 13:24): Azure Content Understanding adds GPT-5.6, GPT-6, and GPT-6.1 model support

Overview: Microsoft says Azure Content Understanding now supports the GPT-5.6, GPT-6 and GPT-6.1 model families for document, text, speech and video workflows. Microsoft recommends GPT-6.1 Sol as the starting point for standard document extraction, GPT-6 Luna for lower token cost, and GPT-6 Astra for demanding documents, based on evaluation data it published.

Microsoft advises customers to test each model on their own workload before choosing one. Before testing, customers should confirm the analyzer supports the candidate model and that it is available in their region.
