Azure OpenAI

Azure OpenAI Service is a managed service that allows developers to integrate OpenAI models into their applications easily:

• Access pre-trained models such as natural language processing, computer vision, and more.

• Fine-tune the included pre-trained models with your organizational IP for a specialized model.

For more information on the Azure OpenAI service, please see the official site and blog posts.

The Azure OpenAI GenAI Agent allows you to query your OpenAI model securely hosted in Azure, and include the result in the Data Stream.

The Azure OpenAI Embedding GenAI Agent allows you to convert input text into an embedding vector for use in RAG-based retrieval and similarity searches.
