Upon internal review, it has been determined that the Free subscription and Azure For Students subscription plans no longer permit the use of Azure OpenAI, regardless of gating email.
Our team is actively working to communicate this change to prevent any confusion and inconvenience.
To ensure successful Azure OpenAI deployments once your request is approved, your subscription must be a pay-as-you-go account. If you are currently on any of the aforementioned subscriptions, please upgrade to pay-as-you-go and retry.
Additionally, please review the Azure account requirements to ensure successful Azure OpenAI deployments once your request is approved.
