Mashable: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced via Twitter that ChatGPT would soon be available via the company's newly released Azure OpenAI Service.

Soon, businesses will be able to use APIs to connect to OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot. This will let them add the bot to their own apps and software. If OpenAI decides to charge to use the API, it could get a new source of revenue.

In addition to the API, business clients will be able to use OpenAI's ChatGPT as part of Microsoft's Azure OpenAI service. Companies can add OpenAI's AI models to their own software by using Microsoft's OpenAI service on Azure.

On Twitter, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that ChatGPT would soon be available through the company's newly released Azure OpenAI Service, which aims to "help customers apply the most advanced AI models to their own business imperatives."

The company will make more of the software made by OpenAI, a company it is helping to fund and whose innovative ChatGPT chatbot has wowed the tech world.

Microsoft said that the startup's technology, which it had shown off to its cloud-computing customers through an initiative called Azure OpenAI Service, is now widely available. This is expected to lead to a flood of new users.

Two anonymous sources told Reuters (via ET) that Microsoft has thought about increasing its $1 billion stake in OpenAI, which was announced earlier this year. A news outlet called Semafor said earlier this month that Microsoft might invest $10 billion, but Microsoft hasn't said anything about the rumored deal.

OpenAI got more attention when ChatGPT came out in November. ChatGPT is a text-based chatbot that can be told to write prose, poetry, or even code when given instructions. Microsoft is making its ChatGPT service available to more people. This service is powered by generative artificial intelligence, which creates original content by learning from large datasets.

As of right now, what makes ChatGPT so innovative is that it seems to be able to answer a wide range of user questions, from questions about SEO to questions about how to write long essays. Experts have warned, however, that ChatGPT isn't always reliable and that some of its answers, even if they seem right, are wrong.

A blog post says that Microsoft plans to offer ChatGPT itself through its cloud service, not just the technology that makes it work.

Microsoft has said that it is screening client applications to stop people from misusing them and that its filters can find potentially harmful data that people may enter or that technology may make.

Microsoft launched the Azure OpenAI Service in November 2021. Some of the companies that are already using the Azure OpenAI Service are Moveworks, Al Jazeera Digital, KPMG, etc.
