Microsoft has added GPT-5.6, GPT-6, and GPT-6.1 to Azure Content Understanding. The new models are available across document, text, speech, and video workflows.

Internal testing shows only a small accuracy gap between the highest-performing models. However, the completion-token costs differ significantly. This cost spread reinforces the value of task-specific model routing and the use of targeted examples to control spend without a proportional loss in quality.
