At Microsoft, we’re continuously discovering new methods to unleash creativity, unlock productiveness, and uplevel abilities in order that extra folks can profit from utilizing AI. That is permitting our prospects to construct the longer term quicker and extra responsibly by powering their apps utilizing large-scale AI fashions. Our collaboration with OpenAI, together with the ability of Azure have been core to our journey.
Right this moment, we’re excited to announce that GPT-4 is accessible in preview in Azure OpenAI Service. Prospects and companions already utilizing Azure OpenAI Service can apply for entry to GPT-4 and begin constructing with OpenAI’s most superior mannequin but. With this milestone, we’re proud to deliver the world’s most superior AI fashions—together with GPT-3.5, ChatGPT, and DALL•E 2—to Azure prospects, backed by Azure AI-optimized infrastructure, enterprise-readiness, compliance, information safety, and privateness controls, together with many integrations with different Azure providers.
Prospects can start making use of for entry to GPT-4 right this moment. Billing for all GPT-4 utilization begins April 1, 2023, on the following costs:

GPT-4 for each enterprise
Whereas the lately introduced new Bing and Microsoft 365 Copilot merchandise are already powered by GPT-4, right this moment’s announcement permits companies to benefit from the identical underlying superior fashions to construct their very own functions leveraging Azure OpenAI Service.
With generative AI applied sciences, we’re unlocking new efficiencies for companies in each trade. As an illustration, see how Azure OpenAI Service can enable bot builders to create digital assistants in minutes utilizing pure language with Copilot in Energy Digital Brokers.
GPT-4 has the potential to take this expertise to a complete new degree utilizing its broader information, problem-solving skills, and area experience. With GPT-4 in Azure OpenAI Service, companies can streamline communications internally in addition to with their prospects, utilizing a mannequin with extra security investments to cut back dangerous outputs.
Corporations of all sizes are placing Azure AI to work for them, many deploying language fashions into manufacturing utilizing Azure OpenAI Service, and figuring out that the service is backed by the distinctive supercomputing and enterprise capabilities of Azure. Options embrace bettering buyer experiences end-to-end, summarizing long-form content material, serving to write software program, and even decreasing threat by predicting the fitting tax information.
Prospects are accelerating the adoption of language fashions
We’re simply scratching the floor with generative AI applied sciences and are working to allow our prospects to responsibly undertake Azure OpenAI Service to deliver actual impression. With GPT-4, Epic Healthcare, Coursera, and Coca-Cola plan to make use of this development in distinctive methods:
“Our investigation of GPT-4 has proven super potential for its use in healthcare. We’ll use it to assist physicians and nurses spend much less time on the keyboard and to assist them examine information in additional conversational, easy-to-use methods.”—Seth Hain, Senior Vice President of Analysis and Improvement at Epic
“Coursera is utilizing Azure OpenAI Service to create a brand new AI-powered studying expertise on its platform, enabling learners to get high-quality and personalised assist all through their studying journeys. Collectively, Azure OpenAI Service and the brand new GPT-4 mannequin will assist hundreds of thousands around the globe be taught much more successfully on Coursera.”—Mustafa Furniturewala, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Coursera
“Phrases can’t specific the joy and gratitude we really feel as a shopper bundle items firm for the boundless alternatives that Azure OpenAI has offered us. With Azure Cognitive Providers on the coronary heart of our digital providers framework, we have now harnessed the transformative energy of OpenAI’s textual content and picture era fashions to unravel enterprise issues and construct a information hub. However it’s the sheer potential of OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-4 multimodal capabilities that really fills us with awe and surprise. The chances for advertising and marketing, promoting, public relations, and buyer relations are limitless, and we can’t wait to be on the forefront of this revolutionary know-how. We all know that our success is not only about know-how but in addition about having the fitting enterprise options in place. That is why we’re proud to have a long-standing partnership with Microsoft Azure, making certain that we have now all of the instruments we have to ship distinctive experiences to our prospects. Azure OpenAI is extra than simply cutting-edge know-how—it is a true game-changer, and we’re honored to be part of this unbelievable journey.”—Lokesh Reddy Vangala, Senior Director of Engineering, Knowledge and AI, The Coca-Cola Firm
Our dedication to accountable AI
As we described in my earlier weblog, Microsoft has a layered strategy for generative fashions, guided by Microsoft’s Accountable AI Rules. In Azure OpenAI, an built-in security system offers safety from undesirable inputs and outputs and displays for misuse. On prime of that, we offer steerage and finest practices for patrons to responsibly construct functions utilizing these fashions, and we anticipate prospects to adjust to the Azure OpenAI Code of Conduct. With GPT-4, new analysis advances from OpenAI have enabled a further layer of safety. Guided by human suggestions, security is constructed straight into the GPT-4 mannequin, which permits the mannequin to be more practical at dealing with dangerous inputs, thereby decreasing the chance that the mannequin will generate a dangerous response.
