Azure OpenAI service in Australia

Casey 50

Are there plans to bring the service to Australia?

I know this was answered as no a couple of months ago, so I'm just checking if there's been an update, as we have a real need for this to avoid confidential data going overseas.

Thanks

Okay thanks. Ideally GPT-4, though 3.5-turbo may be doable in the short-term.

Hello @Casey CliftonI have checked with the product team again, however, currently there is no plans for Azure Open AI services in Australia (Australia East - Sydney).

Please check for what's new in Azure OpenAI Service page for the updates. I hope this helps.

Hello Dave,

Does that mean data won't go outside Australia if we use Azure Open AI services which are mentioned as available for Australia East, for example pt-35-turbo****, 0613

Thanks.

Hello Casey,

Thanks for reaching out to us, I have checked with the product team again, however, currently there is no plans for Azure Open AI services in Australia (Australia East - Sydney) for GPT 3.5 and GPT 4.

We have forwarded the request for Australia East - Sydney region for product team for reviewing, if you can provide more details of your usage, it may help the request to be stronger.

Please check for what's new in Azure OpenAI Service page for the updates. I hope this helps.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
