The devil is in the details. For example, OAI does not have regional processing for AU [0] and their ZDR does not cover files[1]. Anthropic's ZDR [2] also does not cover files, so you really need to be careful, as a patient/consumer, to ensure that your health, or other sensitive data, that is being processed by SaaS frontier models is not contained in files. Which is asking a a lot of the medical provider to know how their systems work, they won't, which is why I will never opt in.

Azure OpenAI is not the same as paying OpenAI directly. While you may not be able to pay OpenAI for them to run models in Australia, you can pay Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/pricing/details/azure-open...

The models are licensed to Microsoft, and you pay them for the inference.

		There is no way to upload files as a part of context with Azure deployments, you have to use the OAI API [0], and without having an architecture diagram of the solution, I am not going to trust it based off of the known native limitations with Azure's OAI implementation.
