For instance, we observed the incredible speed while testing GPT-4o mini on GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer that assists you by delivering code completion suggestions in the tiny pauses between keystrokes, rapidly updating recommendations with each new character typed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are also announcing updates to <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/ai-services\/openai-service\">Azure OpenAI Service<\/a>, including extending safety by default for GPT-4o mini, expanded data residency, and worldwide pay-as-you-go availability, plus performance upgrades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-ai-brings-safety-by-default-to-gpt-4o-mini\">Azure AI brings safety by default to GPT-4o mini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safety continues to be paramount to the productive use and trust that we and our customers expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re pleased to confirm that our <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/products\/ai-services\/ai-content-safety\">Azure AI Content Safety<\/a> features\u2014including prompt shields and protected material detection\u2014 are now &#8216;on by default&#8217; for you to use with GPT-4o mini on Azure OpenAI Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have invested in improving the throughput and speed of the Azure AI Content Safety capabilities\u2014including the introduction of an <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/ai-services\/openai\/concepts\/content-filter?tabs=warning%2Cuser-prompt%2Cpython-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asynchronous filter<\/a>\u2014so you can maximize the advancements in model speed while not compromising safety.

We also provide choice over the hosting structure that meets business, application, and compliance requirements. Regional pay-as-you-go and Provisioned Throughput Units (PTUs) offer control over both data processing and data storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re excited to share that Azure OpenAI Service is now available in 27 regions including Spain, which launched earlier this month as our ninth region in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-ai-announces-global-pay-as-you-go-with-the-highest-throughput-limits-for-gpt-4o-mini\">Azure AI announces global pay-as-you-go with the highest throughput limits for GPT-4o mini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GPT-4o mini is now available using our global pay-as-you-go <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/ai-services\/openai\/how-to\/deployment-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deployment<\/a> at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens, which is significantly cheaper than previous frontier models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are pleased to announce that the global pay-as-you-go deployment option is generally available this month, allowing customers to pay for the resources they consume, making it flexible for variable workloads, while traffic is routed globally to provide higher throughput, and still offering control over where data resides at rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, we recognize that one of the challenges customers face with new models is not being able to upgrade between model versions in the same region as their existing deployments. Now, with global pay-as-you-go deployments, customers will be able to upgrade from existing models to the latest models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global pay-as-you-go offers customers the highest possible scale, offering 15M tokens per minute (TPM) throughput for GPT-4o mini and 30M TPM throughput for GPT-4o. Azure OpenAI Service offers GPT-4o mini with 99.99% availability and the same industry leading speed as our partner OpenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-ai-offers-leading-performance-and-flexibility-for-gpt-4o-mini\">Azure AI offers leading performance and flexibility for GPT-4o mini<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure AI is continuing to invest in driving efficiencies for AI workloads across Azure OpenAI Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GPT-4o mini comes to Azure AI with availability on our Batch service this month. Batch delivers high throughput jobs with a 24-hour turnaround at a 50% discount rate by using off-peak capacity. This is only possible because Microsoft runs on Azure AI, which allows us to make off-peak capacity available to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are also releasing fine-tuning for GPT-4o mini this month which allows customers to further customize the model for your specific use case and scenario to deliver exceptional value and quality at unprecedented speeds. Following our update last month to switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/ai-azure-ai-services-blog\/pricing-update-token-based-billing-for-fine-tuning-training\/ba-p\/4164465\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">token based billing for training<\/a>, we&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/ai-azure-ai-services-blog\/save-big-on-hosting-your-fine-tuned-models-on-azure-openai\/ba-p\/4195386\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reduced the hosting charges<\/a> by up to 43%. Paired with our low price for inferencing, this makes Azure OpenAI Service fine-tuned deployments the most cost-effective offering for customers with production workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With more than 53,000 customers turning to Azure AI to deliver breakthrough experiences at impressive scale, we\u2019re excited to see the innovation from companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1770174778560829849-vodafone-group-azure-telecommunications-en-united-kingdom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vodafone<\/a> (customer agent solution), the <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1785425602161769458-university-of-sydney-azure-openai-service-higher-education-en-united-states\">University of Sydney<\/a> (AI assistants), and <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1749166093660637548-gigxr-azure-ai-speech-other-en-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GigXR<\/a> (AI virtual patients).
