Azure Databricks vs. Azure OpenAI Service

Centralised notebooks are out directly into production. This can lead to poorly engineered code. It is very good for fast queries and our data team are always able to provide what we ask for. It is a big cost to our business so it is important it runs efficiently and returns on our investment.

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.

• 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.

Great for what we use day to day and does what we need it to do. Cost management is not fully developed across the UX and gets expensive very quickly for developing projects. Integrated very well with our Microsoft stack and can be worked on collaboratively which works well for us.

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.

Against all the tools I have used, Azure Databricks is by far the most superior of them all! Why, you ask? The UI is modern, the features are never ending and they keep adding new features. And to quote Apple, "It just works!" Far ahead of the competition, the delta lakehouse platform also fares better than it counterparts of Iceberg implementation or a loosely bound Delta Lake implementation of Synapse

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.

• 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.
