Azure is a cloud platform that resells models with its own infrastructure, billing and regional hosting. Its prices tend to track the first-party rate, with the platform's own quotas and service-level terms attached.
It lists 94 models on this page. 93 of them have a public price. Coverage spans text and chat (83), embeddings (6), and image generation (5). The lowest-priced model hosted here is text-embedding-3-small.
Azure is the lowest paid channel for 24 models that have at least two competing paid hosts, which is where its pricing genuinely leads rather than being the only option.
