Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Azure OpenAI is very easy to use instead of AWS services.""It's very powerful. It allows users to query our documents using natural language and receive answers in the same way. This makes our product information much more accessible than traditional keyword-based search.""OpenAI integrates seamlessly with the broader Microsoft Azure ecosystem, and that provides synergies with the other solutions. This integration makes it much easier to build solutions.""My goal was to create an experience where project managers don't have to read through entire documents. Instead, they can ask a question and receive relevant point analysis. This analysis identifies the document and specific section where the information resides. Previously, users had to rely on these document references. Now, Azure OpenAI enhances the experience by providing the answer directly in the user's own language, relevant to their context.""OpenAI's models are more mature than Watson's. They offer a wider range of features and provide richer outputs.""We have many use cases for the solution, such as digitalizing records, a chatbot looking at records, and being able to use generative AI on them.""Azure OpenAI is useful for benchmarking products.""The product saves a lot of time."

"It's been pretty scalable in terms of using multiple GPUs.""The tool is very user-friendly.""I like that PyTorch actually follows the pythonic way, and I feel that it's quite easy. It's easy to find compared to others who require us to type a long paragraph of code.""yTorch is gaining credibility in the research space, it's becoming easier to find examples of papers that use PyTorch. This is an advantage for someone who uses PyTorch primarily.""The framework of the solution is valuable.""Its interface is the most valuable. The ability to have an interface to train machine learning models and construct them with the high-level interface, without excess busting and reconstructing the same technical elements, is very useful."

Cons
"The product features themselves are fine. However, with Microsoft scaling the service so much, the support structure needs to keep pace. When solving complex issues, the process of interacting with Microsoft can be quite time-consuming.""There are certain shortcomings with the product's scalability and support team where improvements are required.""I noticed there are no instructional videos or guides on the network portal for initial configurations. There is limited information available, and this is a concern for me. I would like to see more resources and guides to address these issues.""Deployment was slightly complex for me to understand.""Azure OpenAI should use more specific sources like academic articles because sometimes the source can't be found.""Since we don't train the model on our data, it's a struggle to ensure OpenAI answers questions exclusively from our data. During user testing, we found ways to make the system provide answers from outside sources.""The solution needs to accommodate smaller companies.""The product must improve its dashboards."

"The training of the models could be faster.""There is not enough documentation about some methods and parameters. It is sometimes difficult to find information.""On the production side of things, having more frameworks would be helpful.""I would like a model to be available. I think Google recently released a new version of EfficientNet. It's a really good classifier, and a PyTorch implementation would be nice.""I've had issues with stability when I use a lot of data and try out different combinations of modeling techniques.""PyTorch could make certain things more obvious. Even though it does make things like defining loss functions and calculating gradients in backward propagation clear, these concepts may confuse beginners. We find that it's kind of problematic. Despite having methods called on loss functions during backward passes, the oral documentation for beginners is quite complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost structure depends on the volume of data processed and the computational resources required."
  • "The pricing is acceptable, and it's delivering good value for the results and outcomes we need."
  • "The cost is pretty high. Even by US standards, you would find it high."
  • "The cost is quite high and fixed."
  • "The tool costs around 20 dollars a month."
  • "Cost-wise, the product's price is a bit on the higher side."
  • "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."
  • "According to the negotiations taking place and the contract, there is a need to make either monthly or yearly payments to use the solution."

    Overview

    The Azure OpenAI service provides REST API access to OpenAI's powerful language models including the GPT-3, Codex and Embeddings model series. These models can be easily adapted to your specific task including but not limited to content generation, summarization, semantic search, and natural language to code translation. Users can access the service through REST APIs, Python SDK, or our web-based interface in the Azure OpenAI Studio.

    We've built this course as an introduction to deep learning. Deep learning is a field of machine learning utilizing massive neural networks, massive datasets, and accelerated computing on GPUs. Many of the advancements we've seen in AI recently are due to the power of deep learning. This revolution is impacting a wide range of industries already with applications such as personal voice assistants, medical imaging, automated vehicles, video game AI, and more.

    In this course, we'll be covering the concepts behind deep learning and how to build deep learning models using PyTorch. We've included a lot of hands-on exercises so by the end of the course, you'll be defining and training your own state-of-the-art deep learning models.
