Frequently asked questions

  • Azure OpenAI Service uses Azure AI Content Safety as a content management system that works alongside core models to filter content. This system works by running both the input prompt and AI-generated content through an ensemble of classification models aimed at detecting misuse.

  • Taking advantage of the foundation model Florence, as well as content filtering capabilities of Azure AI Content Safety, Azure AI Vision can identify if an image triggers hate, sexual, violent, or self-harm classification.

  • In the Standard, or S1, tier, there are two types of APIs., For the text API, the service is billed for the amount of text records submitted to the service. For the image API, the service is billed for the number of images submitted to the service. 

  • A text record in the S1 tier contains up to 1,000 characters as measured by Unicode code points. If a text input into the Content Safety API is more than 1,000 characters, it counts as one text record for each unit of 1,000 characters. For instance, if a text input sent to the API contains 7,500 characters, it will count as eight text records. If a text input sent to the API contains 500 characters, it will count as one text record. 

  • Usage is stopped if the free-tier transaction limit is reached. Customers cannot accrue overages on the free tier.
