Introduction
Early adoption of AI technologies can be highly beneficial. Leveraging newly released technologies allows us to gather more feedback from users, integrate that feedback into our products, and enhance their overall performance. When OpenAI released the chat completion API, many startups capitalized on this, building products that, despite being rudimentary at first, evolved significantly through user feedback and continuous improvement. This head start can give a competitive edge in the market.
Role of Azure AI Studio and Azure OpenAI Studio
OpenAI’s models, trained on vast amounts of data, offer robust capabilities through APIs. However, for companies where data privacy is paramount, a solution that ensures data protection is crucial. Azure AI Studio addresses this need by providing isolated, deployed chat completion models where data privacy is maintained. These models are designed to wipe out data after task completion, ensuring that sensitive information remains secure and unexposed.
Our Experience with Deploying Models and Enabling Private Endpoints
We deployed the GPT-35-Turbo-16k (0613) model on Azure AI Studio, encountering several challenges, particularly with deploying voice models like Whisper. Creating an index required submitting a Microsoft form to increase the document quota, which seemed cumbersome. Connecting the model to the index necessitated enabling a private endpoint, again requiring a request through a Microsoft form. After obtaining the necessary roles and permissions, we managed to query the index alongside the deployed chat completion model on Azure AI Studio.
But some aspects like using a private endpoint for a model are still being worked on by microsoft right now and are expected to release soon , the product will be available to public and more and more developers will be able to create products on the same very soon.
Perks of using Azure AI studio
Using Azure AI Studio offers several advantages, even with a limited set of files. The infrastructure is capable of querying multiple files simultaneously, especially after fine-tuning the model with system prompts to better understand the data. The results were not only as expected but also promising, demonstrating that the quality of results has improved over time without compromising privacy.
Key benefits include:
Multi-File Comparison: Azure AI Studio allows you to compare data across multiple files seamlessly.
Document Creation: You can create similar documents by using existing ones as references, enhancing productivity.
Recommendations: The system can suggest changes based on old files, streamlining your workflow.
Data Querying: Easily query data from your organization's documents folder.
Isolated Environment: All these processes occur in a secure, isolated environment, ensuring the safety of your company's data.
With Azure AI Studio, you can harness the power of AI while maintaining the highest standards of data privacy and security.
Navigating Early Adoption
Conduct thorough research and due diligence before committing to new tools. Maintain open communication with product teams and support channels. Develop contingency plans to mitigate risks associated with beta and preview versions. By doing so, you can navigate the challenges of early adoption more effectively, ensuring that you can take advantage of cutting-edge technologies while minimizing potential setbacks.
Conclusion
In the rapidly evolving field of AI, early adoption offers significant advantages but comes with inherent risks. Our experience with Azure AI Studio and Azure OpenAI Studio highlighted both the potential and the pitfalls of working with beta and preview technologies. It is essential to weigh these factors carefully, prioritize robust support, and remain adaptable. By learning from our experiences and maintaining a strategic approach, companies can better navigate the complexities of early adoption and leverage new technologies to their full potential.
