New Azure OpenAI Service Offers GPT-3 Natural Language Models -- Virtualization Review

The foundational technology powering new AI coding assistants and other next-gen offerings based on natural language models is going to become an Azure cloud service. Microsoft announced the new Azure OpenAI Service during this week's Ignite 2021 tech event. It's based on GPT-3, an autoregressive language model that produces human-like text by leveraging deep learning, a machine learning construct that imitates the way people gain certain types of knowledge. GPT-3 comes from Microsoft partner OpenAI, an AI research and development company. The GPT-3 language model has been put to many uses, including no-code natural language software development in Power Apps, Microsoft's low-code development offering. Microsoft has a license to infuse GPT-3 technology into its products.
