Provides prompt responses and speeds up the development process
We use the solution for training. We did a POC. We use it for some hackathon projects we have been working on The solution has improved our development process. When we integrate with OpenAI, we get immediate responses for what kind of code or logic we must use. GPT was useful for our projects.…

Stable, easy to set up, and useful
I mainly use it for machine learning and AI. It's for a large language model, like LLaMA Hugging Face has helped me in many ways. For example, I can check the leading board and see which model gives the best performance. Another thing I can do is use an exact Q code to deploy and test the model.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our clients are interested in building knowledge bases, particularly in child welfare. In this domain, we focus on supporting caseworkers by compiling and organizing relevant information. This information is then stored in a database using a query. The database generates summaries and reminders for specific actions and even facilitates sending emails to parents or other relevant parties. The system's complexity is tailored to the specific needs of child welfare cases. Additionally, we're exploring opportunities to assist a healthcare organization. Specifically, we're working on streamlining the process of filling out forms required for insurance claims. This effort aims to ensure that hospitals can receive funding or payment for the care they provide."
"The most valuable features include analyzing comments and preparing requests for customers, making emails easier and faster."
"GPT was useful for our projects."
"The most crucial aspect is the conversational capability, where you can simply ask questions, and it provides answers based on your content and documents, particularly tailored to your specific environment."
"It's very powerful. It allows users to query our documents using natural language and receive answers in the same way. This makes our product information much more accessible than traditional keyword-based search."
"My goal was to create an experience where project managers don't have to read through entire documents. Instead, they can ask a question and receive relevant point analysis. This analysis identifies the document and specific section where the information resides. Previously, users had to rely on these document references. Now, Azure OpenAI enhances the experience by providing the answer directly in the user's own language, relevant to their context."
"The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users."
"We can use the solution to implement our tasks and models quickly."
"What I find the most valuable about Hugging Face is that I can check all the models on it and see which ones have the best performance without using another platform."
"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering."
 

Cons

"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required."
"Azure OpenAI will be expensive if you want to implement it as a permanent solution for a customer."
"The UI could be a little easier."
"I faced one issue with Azure OpenAI: My customer wanted more clarity on the pricing. They were not able to get proper answers from the documentation or the pricing calculator. I suggest that Microsoft maintain standardization in the pricing details published in the documentation and the pricing calculator."
"The fine-tuning of models with the use of Azure OpenAI is an area with certain shortcomings currently, and it can be considered for improvement in the future."
"There are no available updates of information that are currently provided."
"We are awaiting the new updates like multi-model capabilities."
"Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
"The area that needs improvement would be the organization of the materials. It could be clearer and more systematic. It would be good if the layout was clear and we could search the models easily."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm uncertain about the licensing, specifically the pricing. This falls under the purview of other teams, particularly the sales teams. I am not informed about the pricing details."
"The platform offers a flexible pricing model which depends on the features and capabilities we utilize."
"We started with monthly payments, but we plan to switch to yearly billing once we've stabilized our solution."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
"Azure OpenAI is a bit more expensive than other services."
"If you consider the long-term aspect of any project, Azure OpenAI is a costly solution."
"The licensing is interaction-based, meaning transactional. It's reasonably priced for now."
"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
"I recall seeing a fee of nine dollars, and there's also an enterprise option priced at twenty dollars per month."
