Unlocking the Potential of AI
summary
Microsoft and GitHub demonstrate practical stacks: GPT-3 175B / 9 days / $4.6M and models with 32k token context windows, Azure OpenAI with Azure Cognitive Search vector embeddings and hybrid search, plus function calling and content safety filtering. A live demo builds a RAG app by uploading markdown to blob storage, indexing with 1536‑dim embeddings, deploying an AAD‑protected co‑pilot, and returning grounded answers. GitHub Copilot Chat edits code, fixes bugs and generates unit tests; internal metrics report 75% happier developers and 96% faster completions.
