Hello,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,
Yes, transitioning to the Azure AI Foundry Agent Service is advisable, as it represents Microsoft's strategic direction for AI agent development and deployment. Microsoft has announced that the Azure OpenAI Assistants API v1 will be retired on July 19, 2025. While a v2 version exists, it remains in preview and lacks full SDK support across all platforms.
Given the impending retirement of the Assistants API and the advanced capabilities of the Azure AI Foundry Agent Service, migrating to the latter is a strategic move to ensure continuity and leverage enhanced features.
