CoinVoice has recently learned that according to China Business News, several developers received emails from Microsoft stating that due to local regulatory requirements, Microsoft Azure OpenAI services will be shut down on October 21. In the future, only corporate customers in mainland China will be able to subscribe to Azure's OpenAI services.
Most developers received the email on the morning of the 17th. One developer said, "This is the only window for individuals to use OpenAI in China in a legal manner, and it is now closed." At the same time, some developers were dissatisfied with Microsoft's "only four days to process." Microsoft has not yet made a statement on this matter. [Original link]
