Azure has made significant advancements in AI solutions, offering leading performance and safety.

The latest Azure AI solutions boast improved accuracy and speed, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.

One notable example is the Azure Machine Learning platform, which provides a managed service for building, training, and deploying machine learning models.

By leveraging Azure's scalable infrastructure, developers can focus on creating innovative AI solutions without worrying about the underlying complexity.

Azure Pricing and Services

Azure OpenAI Service offers three pricing options: Standard (On-Demand), Provisioned (PTUs), and Batch API.

With the Standard (On-Demand) option, you pay-as-you-go for input and output tokens, making it flexible for variable workloads.

The Provisioned (PTUs) option allows you to allocate throughput with predictable costs, with monthly and annual reservations available to reduce overall spend.

You can deploy the Azure OpenAI Service in three ways: Global Deployment, Data Zone Deployment, and Regional Deployment.

Here are the three deployment options:

The pricing for GPT-4o-Realtime-Preview-Global model is not explicitly stated, but the GPT-4o mini model is available using the global pay-as-you-go deployment at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens.

Azure Service Pricing offers flexible options to suit various needs. You can choose from Standard (On-Demand), Provisioned (PTUs), and Batch API pricing plans.

The Standard (On-Demand) plan allows you to pay-as-you-go for input and output tokens. This is a great option for variable workloads or one-time projects.

Provisioned (PTUs) offers predictable costs with monthly and annual reservations available to reduce overall spend. This plan is ideal for consistent and large-scale deployments.

The Batch API provides a 50% discount on Global Standard Pricing for completions within 24 hours. This is a cost-effective option for global deployments.

Azure OpenAI Service supports three deployment options: Global Deployment, Data Zone Deployment, and Regional Deployment. The Global Deployment option is available with a Global SKU, while Data Zone Deployment is geographic-based (EU or US). Regional Deployment is available in up to 27 local regions.

GPT-4o mini is now available with a global pay-as-you-go deployment option, priced at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens. This is significantly cheaper than previous frontier models.

The global pay-as-you-go deployment offers the highest possible scale, with 15M tokens per minute (TPM) throughput for GPT-4o mini and 30M TPM throughput for GPT-4o.

Realtime API

The Realtime API is a game-changer for developers, allowing for faster and more efficient data processing.

One of the standout features of the Realtime API is its support for audio/speech capabilities, including multilingual speech-to-speech. This means you can create applications that can understand and respond to voice commands in multiple languages.

Azure AI Announces Global Pay-As-You-Go for Mini

Azure AI has made a significant move by announcing global pay-as-you-go for GPT-4o mini, a game-changer for developers and businesses.

GPT-4o mini is now available using global pay-as-you-go deployment at 15 cents per million input tokens and 60 cents per million output tokens, which is significantly cheaper than previous frontier models.

This new pricing model allows customers to pay for the resources they consume, making it flexible for variable workloads. Traffic is routed globally to provide higher throughput.

With global pay-as-you-go deployments, customers will be able to upgrade from existing models to the latest models, a major advantage over previous models. This is a huge win for businesses looking to scale up or down depending on their needs.

Azure OpenAI Service offers GPT-4o mini with 99.99% availability and the same industry-leading speed as our partner OpenAI.
