  • Duration: 1 day
  • Language: English
  • Level: Intermediate

Azure OpenAI Service provides access to OpenAI's powerful large language models such as GPT; the model behind the popular ChatGPT service. These models enable various natural language processing (NLP) solutions to understand, converse, and generate content. Users can access the service through REST APIs, SDKs, and Azure OpenAI Studio. In this AI Solutions with Azure course, you'll learn how to provision Azure OpenAI service, deploy models, and use them in generative AI applications.

AI Solutions with Azure FAQs

The audience for this course includes software developers and data scientists who need to use large language models for generative AI. Some programming experience is recommended, but the course will be valuable to anyone seeking to understand how the Azure OpenAI service can be used to implement generative AI solutions.

We will be providing demonstrations of the labs; however, Azure OpenAI requires registration and approval of your Azure subscription, which can take several days for attendees to complete.

As demand for AI services increases, we worry that attendees will have a degraded experience if they cannot be approved in time for the class. Therefore, we will be demonstrating labs and welcome attendees to use their after-course instructor coaching for any troubles they encounter while performing the labs on their own after the class.

Azure OpenAI Service provides access to OpenAI's powerful large language models such as ChatGPT, GPT, Codex, and Embeddings models.

These models enable various natural language processing (NLP) solutions to understand, converse, and generate content. Users can access the service through REST APIs, SDKs, and Azure OpenAI Studio.

Microsoft Azure AI engineers build, manage, and deploy AI solutions that make the most of Azure Cognitive Services and Azure services. Their responsibilities include participating in all phases of AI solutions development—from requirements definition and design to development, deployment, integration, maintenance, performance tuning, and monitoring.

These professionals work with solution architects to translate their vision and with data scientists, data engineers, IoT specialists, infrastructure administrators, and other software developers to build complete end-to-end AI solutions.

Azure AI engineers have experience developing solutions that use languages such as Python or C# and should be able to use REST-based APIs and software development kits (SDKs) to build secure image processing, video processing, natural language processing (NLP), knowledge mining, and conversational AI solutions on Azure.

They should be familiar with all methods of implementing AI solutions. Plus, they understand the components that make up the Azure AI portfolio and the available data storage options. Azure AI engineers also need to understand and be able to apply responsible AI principles.
