Late last year, Microsoft announced the launch of Azure OpenAI Service, a fully managed, enterprise-focused product designed to give businesses access to AI lab OpenAI’s technologies with added governance features. Initially invite-only as a part of Azure Cognitive Services, the service allows access to OpenAI’s API through the Azure platform for applications like language translation and text autocompletion.

Now, coinciding with Build and fueled by new innovations from OpenAI, Microsoft is expanding Azure OpenAI Service to support additional use cases. The service is in limited access preview, meaning customers who want to use it can apply for pay-as-you-go access. Previously, Azure OpenAI Service was available by invitation only.
