Didn't realize these stipulations for the models. Looking at devops-y job descriptions the last few months I noticed nearly everyone has some kind of Azure requirement now (which I've mostly avoided because I don't want to end up managing someone's AD), but is openai the actual reason for it?
We're just using Github Copilot as our primary entrypoint for all of the model families. Its the only way we can easily offer our devs some level of Claude, Gemini, and Codex all in one place.
Copilot has gotten a lot better lately at least on insiders. They are actually serving close to 200k context on insiders last I checked, which brings it more online with the first party apis
