Azure AI Content Understanding 2025-05-01-preview

Azure AI Content Understanding is a cutting-edge generative AI-powered service, designed to process and ingest diverse types of content, including documents, images, videos, and audio, and transform them into user-defined output formats. With the introduction of the 2025-05-01-preview release, the service now offers two operational modes: standard and pro. By default, all analyzers operate in the standard mode.
