Offers tools to moderate generated content and guidance to safely design applications, but it is not consistently accessible
Instead of a feature, the GPT-4 model has been most beneficial for automating tasks. We transitioned from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 and actively use it. However, we face limitations due to geographic availability, subscription constraints, and rate limiting, which we are currently negotiating and working towards optimizing. While we haven't formally benchmarked Azure OpenAI's language understanding against industry standards, we find it performs well about 70-80% of the time. Occasionally, we need to refine our queries and adapt our systems accordingly to improve accuracy and effectiveness.

Open-source, easy to integrate, and perfectly tailored to the Movidius chipset
Generally, when you deploy edge products, it's really about latency. It's about getting that camera input, being able to process it, extracting the information you need, and getting the solution back to the person who made the request. Although I'm not necessarily saying its latency or accuracy is bad, it's always something that can be improved upon. By focusing on improving these areas, they can make the overall solution even better. At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools. However, that's not advice from experience per se. That's always just helpful in general. To be able to incorporate more models into the product makes it stronger. Therefore, to be clear, it's not coming from a point of a current deficiency. It's just a general comment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure OpenAI is very easy to use instead of AWS services."
"The document intelligence feature has significantly aided in our operations, facilitating the creation of descriptive content."
"The most valuable feature is the ALM."
"Azure OpenAI has significantly reduced costs and increased efficiency in tasks such as aggressive testing of systems to avoid anomalies and trust issues."
"Generative AI or GenAI seems to be the best part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Azure OpenAI stems from the GPT-3.5 models it provides to its users."
"Its versatility makes it incredibly useful for technical problem-solving, content creation, data analytics, and more."
"Azure's integration with OpenAI's GPT is beneficial as well, especially for text generation tasks."
"The inferencing and processing capabilities are quite beneficial for our requirements."
"The features for model comparison, the feature for model testing, evaluation, and deployment are very nice. It can work almost with all the models."
"The initial setup is quite simple."
 

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."
"Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand."
"Azure OpenAI is not available in all regions, and its technical support should be improved."
"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."
"Latency performance is a major part. And I'm seeking support for multiple models that handle text, images, videos, and voice. I'm from India, and I'm looking for more support in Indian languages. There are 18 official languages and many more unofficial. We need support for these languages, especially in voice moderation, which is not yet available."
"The product must improve its dashboards."
"In the next release, they could enhance the product's features for even greater usability and efficiency."
"At this point, the product could probably just use a greater integration with more machine learning model tools."
"It has some disadvantages because when you're working with very complex models, neural networks if OpenVINO cannot convert them automatically and you have to do a custom layer and later add it to the model. It is difficult."
"The model optimization is a little bit slow — it could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform offers a flexible pricing model which depends on the features and capabilities we utilize."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"If you consider the long-term aspect of any project, Azure OpenAI is a costly solution."
"The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
"I rate the product pricing six out of ten."
"We started with monthly payments, but we plan to switch to yearly billing once we've stabilized our solution."
"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 cost is quite high and fixed."
"We didn't have to pay for any licensing with Intel OpenVINO. Everything is available on their site and easily downloadable for free."
