On: OpenAI and Microsoft extend partnership

[ilaksh]

If I'm understanding this, the Codex model like code-davinci-002 and limited to 10-20 requests per minute on OpenAI, is now "generally" available through "Azure OpenAI Service" BUT

- you still have to apply to https://customervoice.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?...

- you will be rejected if you use a personal email address

- you will be rejected if you are not a "managed customer"

- you will be rejected if.. Microsoft thinks you are a real competitor to any of their products?

So my site aidev.codes is will be dead in the water if I can't navigate these things or afford the "managed" part. What is that? I don't know what a "managed customer" is but I assume its very expensive.

I mean, this is really the opposite of Open.

Or am I missing something? Is it really generally available and they took all of that stuff off?

BTW I am looking for an investor: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34494480

Cocks gun, Always has been https://en.meming.world/wiki/Always_has_been

OpenAI was never really open in the first place.

Right.. I know.. have been telling people that.. there just doesn't seem to be anything equivalent as an alternative. code-davinci-002 is amazing. Way better than Tabnine for example (in my limited testing) and also much better that text-davinci-003. for code. The open source programming LLMs I saw were kind of a joke compared to OpenAI's models.

FYI I asked their sales chat what is a "managed customer".. I am not sure if it was really a person or not. Possibly a bot. But they never really defined it, but took down my info and said a "relevant partner would contact me ASAP".
