Azure OpenAI

To use Azure OpenAI, you only need to install the @llamaindex/azure package:

npm i llamaindex @llamaindex/azure

The class AzureOpenAI is used for setting the LLM and AzureOpenAIEmbedding is used for setting the embedding model, e.g.:

import { Settings } from "llamaindex";
import { AzureOpenAI, AzureOpenAIEmbedding } from "@llamaindex/azure";
Settings.llm = new AzureOpenAI({
apiKey: '[key]',
deployment: '[model]',
apiVersion: '[version]',
endpoint: `https://[deployment].openai.azure.com/`,
});
Settings.embedModel = new AzureOpenAIEmbedding({
apiKey: '[key]',
deployment: '[embedding-model]',
apiVersion: '[version]',
endpoint: `https://[deployment].openai.azure.com/`,
});

Instead of explicitly setting the API key, deployment, version, and endpoint in the constructor, you can use the following environment variables: AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT for the model deployment name, AZURE_OPENAI_KEY for your API key, AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT for your Azure endpoint URL, and AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION for the API version.

See the Azure examples for more examples of how to use Azure OpenAI.
