Leveraging Azure OpenAI in your apps

Learn how to consume Azure OpenAI’s services from your applications. We’ll begin by creating an Azure OpenAI resource and selecting which models to use. Then, you’ll learn the basics of the Azure OpenAI APIs (which are compatible with OpenAI’s direct APIs). Finally, we’ll take a look at Semantic Kernel and how your integrations will benefit from using it.
