It allows for one-click processes and for things to be auto checked before they are moved through the process but through the system. It also makes training easy. I am able to train users on the basic fundamentals of the tool and how it is used very easily as it is fully managed on its own which is incredible.

If you're looking for a managed OpenAI API service, then Azure OpenAI Service is a good choice.
It's fully compatible with OpenAI API, has lots of models to choose from, lots of parameters to configure to suite your needs.
The documents are well maintained, with examples to get started.
You can also setup firewall to restrict access to the API to certain IP addresses, like those of your VPCs.

Cons
Amazon AWS
  • It's very good for the hardcore programmer, but a little bit complex for a data scientist or new hire who does not have a strong programming background.
  • Most of the popular library and ML frameworks are there, but we still have to depend on them for new releases.

  • The user interface is similar to the Azure, so it's bit laggy, they should improve it.
  • The chat models sometimes return nothing, I guess they are still testing them.
  • The models we use have quota limitation on tokens and number of requests.

I think it's a good product and appreciate the addition secure guard rails that running it in Azure provide. However, I still struggle at times to get to the right resources for support and region-based capacity can also be a challenge.

Amazon SageMaker took the heavy lifting out of building and creating models. It allowed for our organization to use our current system for integration and essentially added on a feature to help all levels of Data scientists and IT professionals in our department and company as a whole. The training was simple as well.

1. Open AI is best at giving accurate answers. 2. It is secure and more trustworthy 3. Most of our client using Azure cloud so it becomes go to choice for them. 4. Scalable as it handles 1000s of request per minute. 5. SDKs are easy to use and well documented.

Return on Investment
Amazon AWS
  • We have been able to deliver data products more rapidly because we spend less time building data pipelines and model servers.
  • We can prototype more rapidly because it is easy to configure notebooks to access AWS resources.
  • For our use-cases, serving models is less expensive with SageMaker than bespoke servers.

  • Our test group of 100 people created more than 200 conversations within the first day
  • People were excited & asked to be included to the test group once words spread that we have an internal ChatGPT portal
  • People started to create & share their own assistants (prompt engineering) for various purposes like code review, marketing, email, etc.
