# Azure OpenAI

> Legacy AzureOpenAITools reference for image generation with retired DALL-E deployments.

<Warning>
  Azure DALL-E 2 and DALL-E 3 deployments are retired. The v2.7.2 `AzureOpenAITools` implementation supports only those models, so this example no longer runs against a current Azure image model. See [Microsoft's migration guidance](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/openai/how-to/dall-e).
</Warning>

## Legacy Requirements

This legacy example requires `requests`, `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`, `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`, and `AZURE_OPENAI_IMAGE_DEPLOYMENT`. `AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION` is optional and defaults to `2023-12-01-preview`. The standard-model path also uses `OPENAI_API_KEY`; the full-Azure path uses `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT`.

## Legacy Example

The pinned agent used Azure OpenAI DALL-E for image generation:

```python theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.models.azure_openai import AzureOpenAITools

agent = Agent(
    instructions=[
        "You are an AI image generation assistant using Azure OpenAI",
        "Generate high-quality images based on user descriptions",
        "Provide detailed descriptions of the generated images",
    ],
    tools=[AzureOpenAITools()],
)

agent.print_response("Generate an image of a sunset over mountains", stream=True)
```
