RC
AI Engineering Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Empowerment in regulatory content generation marred by inconsistency and hallucination issues
While it is good, we sometimes encounter hallucination issues, which is a significant concern. We are changing the prompt and fine-tuning it, but we still face some inconsistent behavior. We have specific instructions and keep the temperature very low to avoid overly generative responses, ensuring we receive specific answers from the particular source document without deviation; however, the results can sometimes vary. The main issue with Azure OpenAI is the inconsistency in output. We have a set template instruction, and it should generate within those parameters without any creativity because it's meant for regulatory authoring documents. The business provides the template instructions, and it should generate accordingly. While we have different prompts for various needs, sometimes it generates the correct results, and sometimes it does not, leading to inconsistency. For stability, based on the current model I am using, I would rate Azure OpenAI a 7 due to the ongoing hallucination issues.

Has accelerated AI solution development through automated evaluation and fine-tuning
Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems. Prem Studio has a straightforward yet powerful approach to evaluate disparate AI architectures on our business problems and to accurately fine-tune the most promising ones. This significantly reduced time-to-market, almost by a factor of ten in my case, for solutions tailored and optimized for customer requirements and KPIs.

"The product is easy to integrate with our IT workflow."
"Azure OpenAI is used as chat services, allowing me to replace human tasks with analytical capabilities."
"Two aspects I appreciate are the turnaround time and ease of use. As it's a managed service, the quick turnaround is beneficial, and the simple interface makes it easy to work with. Performance and scalability are also strong points since you can scale as needed."
"The dataset management feature and the managed finetuning are the most valuable because they save the most time."
"Prem Studio allowed me to easily automate and solve the complicated problem of exploring and identifying the best AI architecture for our problems."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, it gives answers in English, even when the request is in Polish."
"The fine-tuning of models with the use of Azure OpenAI is an area with certain shortcomings currently, and it can be considered for improvement in the future."
"Our customers are worried about data management, ethical, and security issues."
"Azure OpenAI will be expensive if you want to implement it as a permanent solution for a customer."
"I faced one issue with Azure OpenAI: My customer wanted more clarity on the pricing. They were not able to get proper answers from the documentation or the pricing calculator. I suggest that Microsoft maintain standardization in the pricing details published in the documentation and the pricing calculator."
"In terms of scalability, I would rate it nine for technical ability to expand. However, from a cost perspective, I would rate it five because it is too costly."
"Azure OpenAI is not an optimized tool yet, making it one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Azure OpenAI should use more specific sources like academic articles because sometimes the source can't be found."
"The inference should be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm uncertain about the licensing, specifically the pricing. This falls under the purview of other teams, particularly the sales teams. I am not informed about the pricing details."
"The cost structure depends on the volume of data processed and the computational resources required."
"Azure OpenAI is a bit more expensive than other services."
"The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
"According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."
"The solution's pricing is normal worldwide but expensive in Turkey because Turkey's currency is different."
"Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
"While the product meets our business requirements well, I consider it relatively expensive, especially for individual users like myself."
