C#/.NET Application with Microsoft Foundry Local and NVIDIA CUDA

[Shemeena Rawther (ShemeenaRawther)]

I built a C#/.NET application with Microsoft Foundry Local

I've been experimenting with Microsoft Foundry Local and wanted to try running a local AI model from a C#/.NET application.

In this walkthrough, I demonstrate my setup and the process of connecting a .NET application to Foundry Local and interacting with a local AI model.

I'm particularly interested in feedback from other .NET developers who are experimenting with local AI.

A few things I'm curious about:

Which Foundry Local models are you using?
Are you using the C# SDK or another integration approach?
What hardware are you using for local inference?
Are you using Foundry Local for RAG, agents, or other applications?

I'd be interested to hear what others are building with Foundry Local.
