Azure OpenAI, meet Canopy

Canopy, an open-source RAG framework from Pinecone, is now compatible with Azure OpenAI Studio, allowing users to leverage Microsoft's enterprise-grade features to build and deploy RAG applications. This integration enables users to maintain security and privacy within the Azure ecosystem while benefiting from advanced capabilities such as fine-tuning and compliance with various standards. Canopy's CLI facilitates the rapid development of proof-of-concept applications and supports deployment with customizable configurations, including embedding models and language learning models from providers like OpenAI and Cohere. Users can interact with their documents via a chat feature that dynamically adjusts responses based on context from the Canopy index. Access to Azure OpenAI Studio requires application and approval, ensuring that model usage remains secure and controlled.
