Really enjoyed this explanation! Everything covered to really understand what's happening behind the scenes. Thank you! :)

I've struggled to explain to folks about how vector semantic is different from text search.. finally found somone who explained this so clearly. Thanks, enjoyed this highly informative session.

I've become a huge fan of RAG, especially Microsoft's implementation via Copilot and Azure AI Studio.

[@ChalkToday]

Very nice Content on the video a different approach from others. Are you open to questions at any time?

[@SurajKumar-uf6it]

Mam, How to find the api version of Azure OpenAI of gpt-35-turbo? Can tell the steps to find it

[@matteopulega560]

so, azure ai search could be better then a simple postgre pgvector for RAG?

[@ankitnarula6134]

Ai search + open ai seems to give different answers for same user prompts. Even the chunks returned for answering seem different based on citations even for same prompt. What causes this? Facing issues with consistency of outputs.

I've written up a guide to debugging answer variance here: github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo/blob/main/docs/customization.md#improving-answer-quality ...that's specific to that repo but is also a general approach for other RAG apps. Does that help?
