AI-050: Develop Generative AI Solutions with Azure OpenAI Service
Azure OpenAI Service provides access to OpenAI's powerful large language models such as GPT; the model behind the popular ChatGPT service. These models enable various natural language processing (NLP) solutions to understand, converse, and generate content. Users can access the service through REST APIs, SDKs, and Azure OpenAI Studio. In this course, you'll learn how to provision Azure OpenAI service, deploy models, and use them in generative AI applications.
Audience
The audience for this course includes software developers and data scientists who need to use large language models for generative AI.
Job roles: AI Engineer, Data Scientist
Prerequisites
- Familiarity with Azure and the Azure portal
- Some programming experience is recommended, but the course will be valuable to anyone seeking to understand how the Azure OpenAI service can be used to implement generative AI solutions.
