Microsoft has announced a partnership with GitHub to empower its over 100 million developers to build AI applications directly from GitHub.com, through seamless integrations with Codespaces and Microsoft Visual Studio Code.
What I found particularly interesting is the launch of GitHub Models, which provides developers with a curated selection of Azure AI's leading models, including Azure OpenAI Service, Llama, and Mistral. This allows developers to experiment with different models and choose the one that best suits their needs, simplifying the development of AI applications.
A key highlight of this collaboration is the focus on simplifying AI development for developers. Through a single API and the Azure AI Inference SDK, developers can now access a wide range of models and easily switch between them without having to change the underlying code.
Furthermore, Azure AI Content Safety provides developers with strong guarantees regarding the safety and security of their applications. It offers built-in, real-time protection against risks such as the generation of harmful content, copyrighted materials, hallucination, and new AI-specific attacks such as jailbreaks and prompt injection attacks.
I believe this collaboration between Microsoft and GitHub will revolutionize the development of AI applications, making it accessible to a wider range of developers.
