The company says that Azure OpenAI users can access the preview version of ChatGPT for $0.002/token, and the usage fee will start on March 13. Developers will also need to submit a special application for access, as the service is available to Microsoft customers and partners.

In addition to ChatGPT, Microsoft’s cloud service also includes a number of other models from OpenAI, such as Codex and DALL-E. The company combines tools such as ChatGPT and DALL-E with Azure data processing, management, and scaling. The software developer uses Azure OpenAI to power GitHub Copilot, Power BI, Microsoft Teams Premium, Viva Sales, and the new Microsoft Bing chatbot.
