The service is currently not available to customers; manual activation by Microsoft is required before the service can be used. Access can be requested using the following form: https://aka.ms/oai/access
In addition to the information about the company and the planned use cases, an Azure subscription ID must also be specified. If you do not yet have an Azure subscription, please contact . We're happy to help you set it up.
