Key notes
- Microsoft is now rolling out Azure OpenAI Assistants API for public preview.
- You can build features similar to helpful copilot assistants.
- The company also promises support for an improved knowledge retrieval tool that is “coming soon.”
Microsoft has finally announced “Assistants,” a new feature within Azure OpenAI Services, for public preview. This makes it easier for app developers to build features similar to helpful copilot assistants, and it’s currently available for everyone to try out.
And it’s well-enhanced, too. With Azure OpenAI Assistants, you can craft assistants exactly how you need them, using your instructions and powerful tools like code interpreters and custom functions. The Redmond company further promises support for an improved knowledge retrieval tool that is “coming soon.”
“Assistants API is built on the same capabilities that power OpenAI’s GPT product and offers unparalleled flexibility for creating a wide range of copilot-like applications,” Microsoft says in the announcement.
The code interpreter also supports a lot of file types, including .html, .pptx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tar, .zip, .xml, .xlsx, and more.
Microsoft also announced that it’s launching an updated preview model of GPT-4 Turbo, OpenAI’s latest that supports 128k context windows and better accuracy over long context.
Named GPT-4-0125-preview, the company is enhancing the code generation feature while also minimizing occurrences of the model failing to finish a task. This rollout is targeting multiple users in specific regions across the US.
