Azure AI

Azure AI is a comprehensive suite of AI services offered by Microsoft Azure, providing developers and enterprises with access to a wide range of prebuilt and customizable AI models. It enables the creation of intelligent applications, including conversational AI, content generation, and data analysis, with a strong focus on security, compliance, and responsible AI practices.

Azure AI, particularly through its Azure OpenAI in Foundry Models and Azure AI Services, directly aligns with the core features of the OpenAI Platform. It offers conversational AI capabilities (e.g., 'Intelligent contact centers' and 'Build voice-enabled agents'), extensive API access for integration, and a strong emphasis on safety and alignment ('Trustworthy AI with Azure', 'Built-in security and compliance', 'Responsible AI with Azure'). The platform also provides fine-tuning and custom model capabilities, and clearly targets enterprise solutions with dedicated offerings. Furthermore, it supports image generation (DALL·E), multimodal AI, and references research and publications.
