 - GPT-4 version 0125-preview is an updated version of the GPT-4 Turbo preview previously released as version 1106-preview.  
 - GPT-4 version 0125-preview completes tasks such as code generation more completely compared to gpt-4-1106-preview. Because of this, depending on the task, customers may find that GPT-4-0125-preview generates more output compared to the gpt-4-1106-preview.  We recommend customers compare the outputs of the new model.  GPT-4-0125-preview also addresses bugs in gpt-4-1106-preview with UTF-8 handling for non-English languages. 
 - GPT-4 version `turbo-2024-04-09` is the latest GA release and replaces `0125-Preview`, `1106-preview`, and `vision-preview`.

 ### Token based billing for fine-tuning
 
 * Azure OpenAI fine-tuning billing is now based on the number of tokens in your training file – instead of the total elapsed training time. This can result in a significant cost reduction for some training runs, and makes estimating fine-tuning costs much easier. To learn more, you can consult the [official announcement](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ai-azure-ai-services-blog/pricing-update-token-based-billing-for-fine-tuning-training/ba-p/4164465).
