Intelligent incident remediation has improved and medical summaries are generated automatically
The customization option in Azure OpenAI is quite challenging because any customization must be done through the knowledge base since Azure OpenAI models cannot be trained. I must build a knowledge base and feed it so that it will learn from that knowledge base. This differs from other local LLMs that I can train directly. For integration of Azure OpenAI with other Azure services, I would rate it five out of ten because it is an open Azure product and integrations work well with Azure services. However, when it comes to services outside of Azure, integration is quite difficult and requires more exploration. It is not as convenient. The point for improvement is integration with third-party services, which has a gap that needs addressing. Regarding other points for improvement for Azure OpenAI, Azure OpenAI is performing well overall, but I believe their models should offer local dedicated models for customers. All data sent to the current models goes to public models. Azure OpenAI should provide solutions to deliver local dedicated models for customers and should enable model training based on customer data. Customers are mostly concerned about their data, so this option is not feasible as currently structured. Even if it were dedicated for the customer and not used by others, it still does not align with compliance requirements because it remains an open model.
