Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service.
This post was originally published in 2023. Some details may have changed since then.
What are your thoughts on this? 👇🏽 Microsoft just announced the third phase of their OpenAI partnership.
OpenAI’s models will be built into Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service.
Here are some key takeaways:
➡️ It’s a multi-year, multi billion dollar partnership.
➡️ Microsoft has committed to building Azure into a ‘Supercomputer for the world.’
➡️ The vision is to democratise AI as a platform
➡️ What’s been built is just the beginning - GitHub Copilot, DALL-E 2, Chat GPT
➡️ In the next phase of the partnership developers and organisations across industries will have access to the best AI infrastructure, models, and toolchain with Azure to build and run their applications.
Things are moving fast. The possibilities are going to be enormous, and need to be navigated well.
I am spending 5 hours a week learning AI so that I can use it to enhance every part of my life.
I’d love to know.
Do you have plans to use this in your organization?
If so, what’s the business value you’re looking to create?

I found 268 plaintext secrets in my AI stack
Six weeks ago a security audit told me I had 268 plaintext secrets scattered across my AI agent platform. This week I closed out the migration that fixed it. Here is what I learned about credentials, AI agents, and the gap between what we build and what we secure.
