At the recent cloud developer conference, Microsoft announced a major update, with Azure launching global versions of the generative AI model GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo. This update marks a further expansion of Microsoft in the field of artificial intelligence, especially in improving model performance and cost-effectiveness. The GPT-4 Turbo is not only three times more cost-effective than the previous generation, but also twice as efficient in output, making it one of the most competitive AI models on the market.
In addition to performance improvements, GPT-4 Turbo has introduced several new features, including parallel calls and JSON mode. These new features make models more efficient and flexible when handling complex tasks, providing developers with more powerful tools to build advanced applications. In addition, Microsoft announced that the Azure OpenAI service will be expanded to three new regions, bringing the total number of regions it covers to 14, which greatly enhances the global availability of the service.
Microsoft also said the new model will provide previews to most customers and make it more accessible throughput with preconfigured throughput. This strategy not only helps accelerate the adoption of new technologies, but also allows more companies and developers to leverage these advanced AI models to drive innovation. In this way, Microsoft is building a more open and connected AI ecosystem to provide higher quality services to global users.
This update not only demonstrates Microsoft's leading position in AI technology, but also reflects the company's deep understanding of continuous innovation and customer needs. With the launch of GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo, it is expected to open a new chapter in artificial intelligence applications, bringing unprecedented changes and opportunities to all industries.
