Terms in this definition
- Microsoft Foundry resource
Azure resource at the top of the Foundry hierarchy (
Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts, kindAIServices). It governs model deployments, networking, security, policy and shared connections, while child projects keep teams isolated. - WHERE
Limits a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE to just the rows meeting a condition. Omit it, and the statement hits every row.
- EVALUATE
Keyword that every DAX query must contain; whatever table expression follows it becomes the query's output. Clauses such as DEFINE, ORDER BY and START AT may be added if needed.
- Generative AI
AI that produces new content such as code, text, audio or images in response to a prompt. Predicting a class or a numeric value is predictive machine learning rather than generative AI.
