Microsoft is extending OpenAI’s language models to US federal agencies through its Azure cloud service, as announced in a recent blog post.
The integration includes support for the latest and most advanced language models, GPT-4 and GPT-3, empowering government entities with powerful language processing capabilities.
Since the successful launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, in which Microsoft has a stake, the usage of large language models (LLMs) has seen a surge.
Businesses of all sizes are actively exploring the potential of LLMs and developing innovative features using these models.
This move marks the first time Microsoft is bringing GPT technology to Azure Government, which caters specifically to US government agencies. It also represents a pioneering effort by a major company to make chatbot technology accessible to governments.
Previously, Microsoft offered GPT technology to Azure commercial cloud users through Azure OpenAI Services, which already had a significant customer base of 4,500 as of May.
Government customers will now be able to leverage the adaptability of these language models for specific tasks such as content generation, language-to-code translation, and summarization, tailored to their unique requirements.
