What is the difference between the API key from Azure Open AI and the API key from Open AI? Does the former provide more features?

Yes, I am just wondering if I build a python application using API from Azure OpenAI versus API from OpenAI, will they be identical?

Hi Kenneth Singh, A few cases exist, as VasaviLankipalle-MSFT mentioned, one being a smooth transition. While both Azure OpenAI and the other option offer similar functionality, their security levels differ significantly. Microsoft provides added security layers for Azure OpenAI, such as Key Vault and other features.

Sure, the security point is logical, but in terms of the output generated by both Open AI and Azure Open AI, will they be identical?

Hello @Kenneth Singh , unfortunately we don't guarantee the same results because of some differences between those services like in the filtering layer.

Hello @Kenneth Singh , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Azure OpenAI co-develops the APIs with OpenAI, ensuring compatibility and a smooth transition from one to the other. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/faq#how-do-the-capabilities-of-azure-openai-compare-to-openai-

Azure OpenAI provides customers with a secure and reliable way to access OpenAI's powerful language models, while also taking advantage of the security and enterprise features of Microsoft Azure.

Please refer to this documentation to learn more about Azure OpenAI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/overview#comparing-azure-openai-and-openai

Is this something you are looking for?

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Vasavi

I am using Azure Open AI, and the tutorial I am following has this line conda env config vars set OPENAI_API_Key I do have an Azure Open AI Key. My question is, how does Autogen know if I am using OpenAI or Azure's OpenAI? Is there a setting or something I have to enter so Autogen knows this is Azure, not the OpenAI's key?

I think I found the answer to my own question. The page is here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/quickstart?tabs=command-line%2Cpython&pivots=programming-language-csharp setx AZURE_OPENAI_KEY "" setx AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT ""
