Frequently asked questions about Azure OpenAI Service

  • Azure OpenAI Service offers pricing based on both Pay-As-You-Go and Provisioned Throughput Units (PTUs). Pay-As-You-Go allows you to pay for the resources you consume, making it flexible for variable workloads. PTUs, on the other hand, offer a predictable pricing model where you reserve and deploy a specific amount of model processing capacity. This model is ideal for workloads with consistent or predictable usage patterns, providing stability and cost control.

  • Criteria for evaluating and approving use cases include, but aren’t limited to:

    • Responsible use of the service—using the models as they’re intended to be used.
    • Capacity—ensuring that we’re able to adequately onboard and provide service to customers.
  • Azure OpenAI Service provides access to many cutting edge models including GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4 and DALL-E, Whisper, Babbage and Davinci.

  • There are several ways that Microsoft is ensuring responsible use, including:

    • Tools and guidance. Azure OpenAI Service offers tools to moderate generated content and guidance for safely designing applications.
    • Limited access. The service is currently available by limited access to ensure that responsible AI safeguards are working in practice.
  • We guarantee that Azure OpenAI Service will be available at least 99.9 percent of the time.
