# Azure OpenAI

Azure OpenAI is Microsoft's OpenAI model service hosted on Azure, suitable for teams that need enterprise compliance, data residency commitments, or the Microsoft ecosystem.

## Prerequisites

* Azure subscription activated
* Applied for and approved for Azure OpenAI Service access in Azure Portal
* At least one **resource (Resource)** and **deployment (Deployment)**

## Get an API Key

* Azure Portal → Your Azure OpenAI resource → `Keys and Endpoint`
* Copy `KEY 1` or `KEY 2`, note down `Endpoint`(in the form of `https://<your-name>.openai.azure.com/`)

## Configure in Cherry Studio

* Open `Settings → Model Services`, find **Azure OpenAI** Provider to enter the details page
* **API key**: paste in the copied KEY
* **API address**: enter the resource Endpoint (no trailing path needed)
* **API Version**: enter your deployment's API version in the dedicated field (for example `2024-08-01-preview`)
* Click **Get model list**, or manually add the model name you have deployed on Azure (i.e., Deployment Name, not the original OpenAI model ID)

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Deployment Name vs Model ID**: Azure uses the name you gave the deployment (e.g. `gpt-4o-prod`), not `gpt-4o` this original ID. Entering it wrong will cause a 404.
{% endhint %}

## Recommended usage

* **gpt-4o / gpt-4o-mini**: general conversation, Agent
* **gpt-4 turbo**: long context
* **text-embedding-3-**\*: embedding model, can be used with [global memory](/docs/en-us/advanced-basic/memory.md), knowledge bases

## Frequently asked questions

* **401 Unauthorized**: check whether the Key is correct, whether there is an extra slash at the end of the Endpoint
* **404 Not Found**: check whether the Deployment Name matches Azure and whether the API Version was filled in
* **429 Throttled**: check Azure quota (Quota & Limits page)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/pre-basic/providers/azure-openai.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
