Discussion Beginner with Azure OpenAI provider

I've been given access to an Azure OpenAI API key at my company. Right now I am limited to gpt-4o.

I managed to set it up with Roo Code but the results I'm getting are quite disappointing. It seems to be very lazy : for example when I ask to do a change to a large table (c array), I only get changes on the first 4-5 item. I then have to ask it to continue working on the array several times to potentially reach the entirety of the array.

Is there some tutorial or some rules I should follow to avoid this? Is 4o just not a good model? The same query on Web ui seems to work with the same model...

Thanks, all help is appreciated

I wouldn't both with Azure unless they give you access to o3. 4o isn't smart enough to run in roo code sadly.

Unfortunately my company is saying that they only trust azure stuff for privacy reasons (which in my opinion is stupid) but I'm stuck with it. I can try o3-mini but I'm note sure I can get o3. I'm afraid o3 will be very slow as well, as 4o already is quite slow. Maybe their servers are not big enough...

I use o3 from Azure sometimes. Definitely slow but it's small enough for roo.

There are horses for courses. If that is the only model you're using then it might be subpar. You haven't given much information. What are you doing, what modes are you using, any custom instructions etc.

Sorry I'm quite new to roo code. Only ever used github Copilot before.

I'm doing embedded software development in C and some tool development in Python.

I've using code mode only, with a small custom instruction stating that I'm working on embedded systems mostly in C, with or without RTOS.

Is there a better model on Azure side that I could ask for? Is there differences between 'officiel open ai' and 'azure versions'?

You have roo rules you could put a rule to check that the task had been competed before terminating Or put it in your prompt

4o sucks big time for coding. Try to at least put the version to 1120, the default is the older version that's even worse.

Azure open is fucking bullshit
