 ## Support for other OpenAI-compatible models
 
 The OpenAI agent supports third-party AI services that implement the OpenAI API specifications. Some
 of these models are open source tools for running SLMs and LLMs locally. The OpenAI agent supports
 the following 3rd-party models:
 
-- [**Ollama**][06]
-- [**LM Studio**][04]
-- [**Deepseek**][02]
-- [**LocalAI**][05]
-- [**Google Gemini**][01]

+- [**Grok**][05]
+- [**Foundry Local**][02]
 
-For more information about endpoints and model names, see the 3rd-party documentation for the AI
-service you want to use.
+Foundry Local is an on-device AI inference solution from Microsoft, currently in public preview. AI
+Shell interfaces with it using the OpenAI agent. You must install and configure Foundry Local on
+your machine before you can use it with AI Shell. For more information, see
+[Get started with Foundry Local][01].
 
 The OpenAI agent supports the following model names:
 
 - `o1`
 - `o3`
 - `o4-mini`
+- `gpt-5`
 - `gpt-4.1`
 - `gpt-4o`
 - `gpt-4`
 - `gpt-4-32k`
 - `gpt-4-turbo`
 - `gpt-3.5-turbo`
 - `gpt-35-turbo` - Azure OpenAI name of the model
+- Any of the model IDs supported by Foundry Local
+
+For more information about endpoints and model names, see the 3rd-party documentation for the AI
+service you want to use.
+
+### Configure a Foundry Local endpoint
+
+After you have Foundry Local installed, run the following commands to get the information you need
+to configure the OpenAI agent:
+
+```powershell
+PS> foundry service start
+🟢 Service is already running on http://127.0.0.1:56952/.
+
+PS> foundry model load phi-3.5-mini
+🕔 Loading model...
+🟢 Model phi-3.5-mini loaded successfully
+
+PS> foundry service ps
+Models running in service:
+    Alias                          Model ID
+🟢  phi-3.5-mini                   Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-generic-cpu
+```
+
+This example starts the Foundry Local service, loads the `phi-3.5-mini` model, and lists the models
+in the running in the service.
+
+Next, add a new GPT to your `openai.agent.json` file.
+
+- The `foundry service start` shows the URI for the service. The `Endpoint` for the OpenAI agent is
+  the URI plus `/v1`.
+- The `foundry service ps` command shows `ModelName` as the **Model ID**. Make sure you use the
+  exact casing as shown in **Model ID**. Foundry Local is case-sensitive.
+- The API key is hardcoded to `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "GPTs": [
+    {
+      "Name": "foundry-local",
+      "Description": "A GPT instance using Foundry Local.",
+      "Endpoint": "http://127.0.0.1:56952/v1",
+      "ModelName": "Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-generic-cpu",
+      "Key": "OPENAI_API_KEY"
+    }
+  ]
