-This article summarized the tools and SDKs in the .NET ecosystem, with a focus on services that provide official support for .NET. Depending on your needs and stage of app development, you might also want to take a look at the open-source options for the ecosystem in [the unofficial list of .NET + AI resources](https://github.com/jmatthiesen/dotnet-ai-resources?tab=readme-ov-file#models). Microsoft is not the maintainer of many of these projects, so be sure to review their quality, licensing, and support.

    Response caching functionality is supported and works the same way regardless of whether the evaluators talk to an LLM or to the Azure AI Foundry Evaluation service. The response will be reused until the corresponding cache entry expires (in 14 days by default), or until any request parameter, such as the the LLM endpoint or the question being asked, is changed.
 
    > [!NOTE]
-   > This code example passes the LLM <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.AI.IChatClient> as `originalChatClient` to `ToChatConfiguration` <!--TODO add xref for this overload-->. The reason to include the LLM chat client here is to enable getting a chat response from the LLM, and notably, to enable response caching for it. (If you don't want to cache the LLM's response, you can create a separate, local <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.AI.IChatClient> to fetch the response from the LLM.) Instead of passing a <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.AI.IChatClient>, if you already have a <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.ChatConfiguration> for an LLM from another reporting configuration, you can pass that instead, using the <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Safety.ContentSafetyServiceConfigurationExtensions.ToChatConfiguration(Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Safety.ContentSafetyServiceConfiguration,Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.ChatConfiguration)> overload.
