Hey there! It’s been a while since we dove deep into the world of AI, specifically the buzz surrounding Azure OpenAI. With everyone talking about its potential to revolutionize industries, we’ve got to wonder: Is this just another tech hype, or is it truly being adopted by big brands and beyond?
Let’s find out!
Azure OpenAI: Beyond the Spotlight
Unity Technologies uses Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Content Safety to build Muse Chat, a coding and documentation copilot for game developers. This AI-powered tool enhances creativity by allowing developers to create entire games from prompts without writing code.
Sapiens International is leveraging Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure-managed databases to build automated customer solutions for the insurance industry. By harnessing the full power of the Microsoft Azure stack, Sapiens is enhancing developer productivity and accelerating the development of solutions for underwriting, claims processing, and fraud detection.
PwC has developed ChatPwC using – Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, and Azure AI Document Intelligence. This platform empowers thousands of employees to efficiently summarize, analyze, and extract insights from client data, significantly boosting productivity.
To enhance in-car experiences, Mercedes-Benz added GPT-4 Turbo with Vision using Azure OpenAI Service. This combination enables their MBUX Voice Assistant to understand the car’s surroundings, providing context-aware responses to “Hey Mercedes” commands. At Build, Mercedes showcased the future of in-car AI by demonstrating how users can generate and add DALL-E images to the dashboard with simple voice commands, highlighting the potential of multimodal AI.
While companies like Unity, Sapiens, PwC, and Mercedes-Benz have showcased ground-breaking applications of Azure OpenAI, the technology’s reach extends far beyond these examples.
For those craving technical details, this one’s for you!
As per the recent article of July 2024, covering: What’s new in Azure OpenAI Service –
GPT-4o mini is now available for early access on Azure OpenAI Service. This new, smaller language model offers improved performance, cost-effectiveness, and expanded capabilities compared to its predecessor.
Azure OpenAI Service has also been enhanced with expanded data residency options and performance upgrades to support the new model effectively.
Now you might think, what’s with this new version … what is it???
GPT-4o mini is a new, more affordable AI model that significantly outperforms its predecessor, GPT-3.5 Turbo. It offers faster processing, increased context window, and improved multilingual capabilities.
Key benefits:
- Lower cost: Delivers high-quality results at a reduced price.
- Blazing speed: Ideal for real-time applications like assistants and code completion.
- Expanded capabilities: Supports a larger context window and handles multiple languages better.
Azure OpenAI is offering GPT-4o mini with enhanced safety features, global availability, and performance improvements.
This new model is expected to revolutionize various applications, especially those requiring real-time interactions and large amounts of context.
GPT-4o Goes Global: Expanded Deployment Regions
GPT-4o is now available for global standard deployments in 23 regions worldwide, including locations in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. This expanded availability allows businesses and developers to deploy GPT-4o closer to their users, improving performance and reducing latency.
Just so you don’t get confused, GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a major leap towards more natural human-computer interaction. It can handle a mix of text, audio, images, and video both as input and output. It’s incredibly fast at responding to audio, matching human reaction times. While equally good at text and code as GPT-4 Turbo, it shines in non-English languages and is significantly faster and cheaper. GPT-4o truly excels in understanding visuals and audio compared to older models.
