GPT-3 is coming to Microsoft Azure
In a previous post, I speculated that GPT-3 could be coming soon to Microsoft Azure, and last week, we got confirmation!
I had a feeling something was brewing and coming to surface and it feels good to be validated in that way.
Microsoft announced the OpenAI API will be available, on an invite only basis, to Azure customers.
The announcement says:
The new Azure OpenAI Service will give customers access to OpenAI’s powerful natural language GPT-3 models – with the security, reliability and enterprise capabilities of Microsoft Azure. Azure OpenAI Service can help developers working for a sports franchise create a new app by converting language to software code, then reason over transcripts of live television commentary to offer game summaries for the app and also generate ideas for blog posts and other written content for fans.
In an upcoming podcast episode, I'll talk about what this could mean for the future. But largely, I think it's a good thing. I'm not sure if we'd have GPT-3 in the first place without Microsoft's significant financial support.
