What's New

Updated Foundry Local SDK

This build updates the Foundry Local SDK packages to 1.2.3, including improved model registry fallback behavior for the EastUS catalog issue.

Default diagnostic logging

The CLI now configures daemon, SDK, and Core logging at info by default so diagnostic logs such as foundry.core*.log are available for support/debugging.

You can tune log verbosity persistently:

foundry config show
foundry config set log-level debug
foundry config reset log-level

Supported values:

debug | info | warn | error

Public issue reporting

foundry report now points users at the public microsoft/Foundry-Local issue tracker for CLI feedback and diagnostics.

Better model list readability

foundry model list now includes footer legends that explain the Type, Device, Tools, and Cached columns. Use --variants to see every hardware-specific variant, provider, size, and cache state.

Coming from the older Foundry Local CLI?

The earlier service-based CLI has been replaced. Common commands map roughly as follows:

| Old service-based CLI | New CLI | |---|---| | foundry service start / stop / restart / ps / diag | foundry server start / stop / restart / logs | | foundry cache remove | foundry cache rm | | foundry model run | foundry run | | foundry model info | foundry model show |

Run foundry --help for the full surface.
