Promise Technology

ChatGPT will soon be available in Microsoft's Azure OpenAI Service, which is now generally available.

Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

There are two parts: (a) the Azure OpenAI Service was generally available when the claim was made (2023-01-17), and (b) ChatGPT (the ChatGPT model, such as gpt-35-turbo) would 'soon' become available to customers through the Azure OpenAI Service. 'Soon' is read as within about six months, by 2023-07-17. TRUE: Azure OpenAI was generally available by 2023-01-17, and ChatGPT models were offered to Azure OpenAI customers by 2023-07-17. Public or limited-access preview counts as available. MOSTLY TRUE: both happened, with a minor slip in detail, such as availability only in a few regions at first. MOSTLY FALSE: ChatGPT reached Azure OpenAI only after 2023-07-17, or the service was not actually generally available on the claim date but ChatGPT still arrived on time. FALSE: ChatGPT models were not offered through Azure OpenAI at all within any reasonable period, or the plan was cancelled.

    “Developers will need to apply for special access, as the Azure OpenAI Service requires registration and is “currently only available to Microsoft managed customers and partners.””

  4. E4 Working with the GPT-4 and ChatGPT models on Azure (preview) Microsoft Tech Community · 21 March 2023 Own record

    “The ChatGPT model, gpt-35-turbo, and the GPT-4 models, gpt-4 and gpt-4-32k, are now available in Azure OpenAI Service in preview.”

Reasoning

Microsoft's Azure blog announced on 2023-01-17, the date of the claim, that Azure OpenAI Service was generally available (E1). On 2023-03-09, Microsoft announced that ChatGPT was available in preview in Azure OpenAI Service (E2). The Verge, an independent outlet, reported the launch the same day (E3), and a Microsoft post on 2023-03-21 names gpt-35-turbo as available in preview (E4). The Verge says access needed registration and was limited to Microsoft-managed customers and partners. That limit does not change Microsoft's official general-availability announcement, and the criteria say preview access counts. ChatGPT therefore arrived well before the 2023-07-17 cutoff.
