Massive language models are becoming an essential tool for people and companies to innovate, apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and shape the future. As part of its ongoing commitment to democratizing AI and partnership established with OpenAIMicrosoft announces today the general availability of the Azure OpenAI service.
Through this service, now available to the general public, more organizations can gain access to the world’s most advanced AI models, including GPT-3.5, Codex e DALL•E 2 – through the enterprise-grade secure features and AI-optimized infrastructure of Microsoft Azure. The public will also soon be able to access the ChatGPT — an adapted version of GPT-3.5 that has been developed and trained on the Azure AI infrastructure — through the Azure OpenAI service.
Eric Boyd Corporate, Vice-Presidente da AI Platform da Microsoftcomments: “The pace of innovation in the AI community is moving at lightning speed. We are confident in the quality of the AI models we use and deliver to customers today, and we strongly believe they will empower businesses and people alike to innovate in entirely new and exciting ways.”
Launched in November 2021, the Azure OpenAI service enables organizations to harness the power of generative AI models at scale, with the safeguards customers have come to expect from the infrastructure of cloud and Azure Compute — security, reliability, compliance, data privacy, and built-in responsible AI capabilities.
Organizations of all industries and sizes are using the Azure OpenAI service to improve end-user experiences and streamline their operational efficiency. Since creating content that supports compatibility between products and customers, up to the summary of tickets from customer support, personalization and gaining insights from data through search, this service has allowed employees to save time to focus on more critical tasks.
Azure: the best place to create workloads by AI
Azure’s OpenAI service provides enterprises and developers of high-performance AI models at scale with the highest uptime on the market. This is the same production service that Microsoft uses to power its own products, including GitHub Copilot, an AI co-programmer that assists in writing code; The Power BI, that leverages natural language with GPT-3 technology to automatically generate formulas and DAX expressions and the newly announced Microsoft Designerwhich helps creators generate quality graphical content using natural language.
Azure is also the main computing power behind the OpenAI API family of models for advancements in programmer research and production. Currently, Azure is the only cloud global public offering AI supercomputers with combined vertical and horizontal scalability capabilities.
Common unique architecture design, which combines leading GPU and networking solutions, Azure delivers the best performance and scale for the most compute-intensive AI training and inference workloads. It’s why the world’s leading AI companies, including OpenAI, Meta e Hugging Face, continue to choose Azure to power their AI innovation. Currently, Azure is in the top 15 TOP 500 supercomputers around the world and is the service provider of cloud highest ranked overall.
A responsible approach to AI
Microsoft recognizes that any AI innovation must be done responsibly. Tech has taken an iterative approach to large models, working closely with OpenAI and its customers to carefully evaluate use cases, learn, and address potential risks. Additionally, it has implemented its own protection for the Azure OpenAI service, in line with its Principles of Responsible AI.
