"Use OpenAI SDK with Phi-3 in Azure AI and Azure ML" page shows an example with 0.x openai library version that is quite old at this stage.

Is the latest openai library still supported to interact with phi model deployed on serverless API?

Hi @fujikosu you use the Azure Inference API https://github.com/microsoft/Phi-3CookBook/blob/main/md/02.QuickStart/AzureInferenceAPI_QuickStart.md

@leestott Is there any downside to go with OpenAI SDK instead of Azure Inference API? My code is currently running with openai==1.53.0 for Phi inference

Our recommendation is move the Azure AI Foundry SDK https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-studio/how-to/develop/sdk-overview?tabs=sync&pivots=programming-language-python

This way you ensure your using the latest release.
