Upgrade Path from Preview to GA Models
We are targeting the upgrade of deployments that utilize any of the three preview models (gpt-4-1106-preview, gpt-4-0125-preview, and gpt-4-vision-preview) and are configured for auto-update on the Azure OpenAI Service. These deployments will be upgraded to gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09 starting on June 10th or later. We will notify all customers with these preview deployments at least two weeks before the start of the upgrades. We will publish an upgrade schedule detailing the order of regions and model versions that we will follow during the upgrades in our public documentation.
Upcoming Features for image (vision) inputs: JSON Mode and Function Calling
JSON mode and function calling for inference requests involving image (vision) inputs will be available in GA in the coming weeks. Please note that text-based inputs will continue to support both JSON mode and function calling.
Changes to GPT-4 Vision Enhancements
Enhancements such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), object grounding, video prompts, and "Azure OpenAI Service on your data with images", that were integrated with the gpt-4-vision-preview model will not be available with the GA model. We are dedicated to enhancing our products to provide value to our customers, and are actively exploring how to best integrate these features into future offerings.
