5 commentsJust about the only benefit (for us) was data location sovereignty. We have customers that had to keep their data on-shore. Deploying models in our local region ticks that enterprise compliance checkbox.
However, in some other regions the already deployed models have slowed down to a snails pace, eventually timing out more often than not. No new models have turned up in something like six months, maybe longer. It's to the point that I'm getting "model about to be deprecated" warnings for the latest model we can deploy in our region.
At the end of the day, OpenAI models are just software. Some of the models updates are not even that, they're just data. The runtime is essentially stateless. It's bad enough that the regions are not kept in sync with model data, but global outages? That's a bizarre level of failure.
