Developers worldwide have been eagerly exploring generative AI as a driving force for innovation. However, navigating the complexities of prompt engineering, vector search engines, the retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pattern, and integration with Azure OpenAI Service can be daunting. Today, Microsoft is excited to announce the public preview of Azure AI Studio, a state-of-the-art platform designed to simplify generative AI application development, leveraging OpenAI models such as GPT4, alongside a wide array of other cutting-edge models and services.
Azure AI Studio ushers in a new era of generative AI development. It empowers developers to explore, build, test, and deploy their AI innovations at scale – moving faster from idea to impact. Whether creating custom copilots, enhancing search, delivering call center solutions, developing bots and bespoke applications, or a combination of these, Azure AI Studio provides the necessary support. The unified platform is tailor-made for AI developers to integrate pre-built services and models, prompt orchestration and evaluation, content safety, and responsible AI tools for privacy, security, and compliance, helping developers navigate the complexities of generative AI with confidence.
Here’s what sets Azure AI Studio apart:
- Centralized Access: Explore our suite of cutting-edge AI tools and models – including sophisticated hybrid and semantic search to power retrieval augmented generation (RAG) applications. In addition, Azure AI Studio offers a comprehensive model catalog, including the latest multimodal models like GPT-4 Turbo with Vision coming soon to Azure OpenAI Service and open models like Falcon, Stable Diffusion, and the Llama 2 managed APIs.
- Superior Tools: Developers can ground models on their enterprise data and seamlessly integrate structured, unstructured, and real-time data using Microsoft Fabric. In addition, developers can build and train their own custom models. To ensure applications work at scale, Developers can test, verify, and refine model responses using prompt engineering tools like prompt flow. VS Code, GitHub Codespaces, Semantic Kernel, and LangChain integration deliver a code-centric experience.
- Responsible AI: Azure AI Studio helps developers integrate responsible AI principles into the development process and evaluate AI applications for quality and safety. They can also classify content and detect jailbreak risks using Azure AI Content Safety and monitor applications in production for ongoing compliance with their high standards.
- Thriving Partner Ecosystem: Benefit from the latest models from industry leaders like OpenAI, Nvidia, Hugging Face, Meta, and more, available through Azure AI Studio.
