Azure OpenAI Service models

  • Article

Azure OpenAI Service is powered by a diverse set of models with different capabilities and price points. Model availability varies by region. For GPT-3 and other models retiring in July 2024, see Azure OpenAI Service legacy models.

Models Description
GPT-4 A set of models that improve on GPT-3.5 and can understand and generate natural language and code.
GPT-3.5 A set of models that improve on GPT-3 and can understand and generate natural language and code.
Embeddings A set of models that can convert text into numerical vector form to facilitate text similarity.
DALL-E A series of models that can generate original images from natural language.
Whisper A series of models in preview that can transcribe and translate speech to text.
Text to speech (Preview) A series of models in preview that can synthesize text to speech.

GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo Preview

GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting text or image inputs and generating text) that can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy than any of OpenAI's previous models. Like GPT-3.5 Turbo, GPT-4 is optimized for chat and works well for traditional completions tasks. Use the Chat Completions API to use GPT-4. To learn more about how to interact with GPT-4 and the Chat Completions API check out our in-depth how-to.

GPT-4 Turbo with Vision is the version of GPT-4 that accepts image inputs. It is available as the vision-preview model of gpt-4.

  • gpt-4
  • gpt-4-32k

You can see the token context length supported by each model in the model summary table.

GPT-3.5

GPT-3.5 models can understand and generate natural language or code. The most capable and cost effective model in the GPT-3.5 family is GPT-3.5 Turbo, which has been optimized for chat and works well for traditional completions tasks as well. GPT-3.5 Turbo is available for use with the Chat Completions API. GPT-3.5 Turbo Instruct has similar capabilities to text-davinci-003 using the Completions API instead of the Chat Completions API. We recommend using GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-3.5 Turbo Instruct over legacy GPT-3.5 and GPT-3 models.

  • gpt-35-turbo-16k
  • gpt-35-turbo-instruct

You can see the token context length supported by each model in the model summary table.

Embeddings

text-embedding-3-large is the latest and most capable embedding model. Upgrading between embeddings models is not possible. In order to move from using text-embedding-ada-002 to text-embedding-3-large you would need to generate new embeddings.

  • text-embedding-3-large
  • text-embedding-3-small
  • text-embedding-ada-002

In testing, OpenAI reports both the large and small third generation embeddings models offer better average multi-language retrieval performance with the MIRACL benchmark while still maintaining performance for English tasks with the MTEB benchmark.

Evaluation Benchmark text-embedding-ada-002 text-embedding-3-small text-embedding-3-large
MIRACL average 31.4 44.0 54.9
MTEB average 61.0 62.3 64.6

The third generation embeddings models support reducing the size of the embedding via a new dimensions parameter. Typically larger embeddings are more expensive from a compute, memory, and storage perspective. Being able to adjust the number of dimensions allows more control over overall cost and performance. The dimensions parameter is not supported in all versions of the OpenAI 1.x Python library, to take advantage of this parameter we recommend upgrading to the latest version: pip install openai --upgrade.

OpenAI's MTEB benchmark testing found that even when the third generation model's dimensions are reduced to less than text-embeddings-ada-002 1,536 dimensions performance remains slightly better.

DALL-E

The DALL-E models generate images from text prompts that the user provides. DALL-E 3 is generally available for use with the REST APIs. DALL-E 2 and DALL-E 3 with client SDKs are in preview.

Whisper

The Whisper models can be used for speech to text.

You can also use the Whisper model via Azure AI Speech batch transcription API. Check out What is the Whisper model? to learn more about when to use Azure AI Speech vs. Azure OpenAI Service.

Text to speech (Preview)

The OpenAI text to speech models, currently in preview, can be used to synthesize text to speech.

You can also use the OpenAI text to speech voices via Azure AI Speech. To learn more, see OpenAI text to speech voices via Azure OpenAI Service or via Azure AI Speech guide.

GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo Preview models

GPT-4, GPT-4-32k, and GPT-4 Turbo with Vision are now available to all Azure OpenAI Service customers. Availability varies by region. If you don't see GPT-4 in your region, please check back later.

These models can only be used with the Chat Completion API.

GPT-4 version 0314 is the first version of the model released. Version 0613 is the second version of the model and adds function calling support.

See model versions to learn about how Azure OpenAI Service handles model version upgrades, and working with models to learn how to view and configure the model version settings of your GPT-4 deployments.

Note

Version 0314 of gpt-4 and gpt-4-32k will be retired no earlier than July 5, 2024. Version 0613 of gpt-4 and gpt-4-32k will be retired no earlier than September 30, 2024. See model updates for model upgrade behavior.

GPT-4 version 0125-preview is an updated version of the GPT-4 Turbo preview previously released as version 1106-preview. GPT-4 version 0125-preview completes tasks such as code generation more completely compared to gpt-4-1106-preview. Because of this, depending on the task, customers may find that GPT-4-0125-preview generates more output compared to the gpt-4-1106-preview. We recommend customers compare the outputs of the new model. GPT-4-0125-preview also addresses bugs in gpt-4-1106-preview with UTF-8 handling for non-English languages.

Important

  • gpt-4 versions 1106-Preview and 0125-Preview will be upgraded with a stable version of gpt-4 in the future. The deployment upgrade of gpt-4 1106-Preview to gpt-4 0125-Preview scheduled for March 8, 2024 is no longer taking place. Deployments of gpt-4 versions 1106-Preview and 0125-Preview set to "Auto-update to default" and "Upgrade when expired" will start to be upgraded after the stable version is released. For each deployment, a model version upgrade takes place with no interruption in service for API calls. Upgrades are staged by region and the full upgrade process is expected to take 2 weeks. Deployments of gpt-4 versions 1106-Preview and 0125-Preview set to "No autoupgrade" will not be upgraded and will stop operating when the preview version is upgraded in the region.

2 GPT-4 Turbo with Vision Preview = gpt-4 (vision-preview). To deploy this model, under Deployments select model gpt-4. For Model version select vision-preview.

Caution

We don't recommend using preview models in production. We will upgrade all deployments of preview models to future preview versions and a stable version. Models designated preview do not follow the standard Azure OpenAI model lifecycle.

Note

Regions where GPT-4 (0314) & (0613) are listed as available have access to both the 8K and 32K versions of the model
