Reviewer scorecard
“Azure OpenAI Service gives you GPT-4 with enterprise SLAs, content filtering, and VNet integration. Production-ready.”
“Model Garden gives you access to every major model with enterprise security. Feature Store and pipelines are production-grade.”
“If your org is Microsoft-first, Azure AI is the path of least resistance. Copilot integration is the killer feature.”

“Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and enterprise distribution makes Azure AI the default for Fortune 500 AI adoption.”
“Google's AI infrastructure advantage (TPUs, models, data) makes Vertex the dark horse enterprise AI platform.”
