Is GPT-3 Coming to Microsoft Azure?
As a part of my ongoing series on the growth of the GPT-3 economy, I ran my usual search on indeed to see if more GPT-3 related jobs have started to open.
Interestingly, I came across this job posting from Microsoft:
Full job post reads:

There’s a lot you can take away from this post, but what I find interesting is that this is the first public acknowledgement I’ve seen that GPT-3 is being folded into Microsoft Azure in some way.
Very little is known about the relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft. I’m personally really optimistic about the whole thing, but it’s an interesting job posting nonetheless …
Update - October 14, 2021
Azure has already integrated GPT-3 based on announcements in the past. This post is really to say that this job post could reflect a more substantial GPT-3 integration into Azure coming up and shine more light on the deeper partnership with OpenAI. Sorry for the poor wording here.
