The image generation API creates an image from a text prompt.
- Copy the following SQL and paste it into the SQL query editor. Like the previous example, the query here
SELECT [Description] FROM [SalesLT].[ProductDescription] WHERE ProductDescriptionID = 457returns a product description "This bike is ridden by race winners. Developed with the Adventure Works Cycles professional race team, it has a extremely light heat-treated aluminum frame, and steering that allows precision control." which will be sent to the DALL-E 3 text to image endpoint.
declare @url nvarchar(max) = N'https://mlads.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/mlads_dalle/images/generations?api-version=2024-05-01-preview';
declare @headers nvarchar(300) = N'{"api-key": "OPENAI_KEY"}';
declare @message nvarchar(max) = (SELECT [description] FROM [dbo].[walmart_product_details] WHERE id = 2);
declare @payload nvarchar(max) = N'{
"prompt": "' + @message + '",
"size": "1024x1024",
"n": 1
}';
declare @ret int, @response nvarchar(max);
exec @ret = sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint
@url = @url,
@method = 'POST',
@headers = @headers,
@payload = @payload,
@timeout = 230,
@response = @response output;
select @ret as ReturnCode, @response as Response;
if (@ret=0)
select json_value(@response, '$.result.data[0].url')-
Replace the OPENAI_KEY text with the Azure OpenAI Key.
-
Execute the SQL statement with the run button.
-
Now, you are in charge. Either select a new product description ID or try creating an image yourself! Here is some inspiration:
Let's use the new GPT-4o model for this next call. We are going to ask it to describe a picture you make using the above DALL-E 3 endpoint. So to start, go wild and ask it to create you some fantastical image. Once you have that URL, we are going to use it in our REST call.
-
Copy the following SQL and paste it into the SQL query editor.
declare @url nvarchar(4000) = N'https://mlads.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/mladsgpt4o/chat/completions?api-version=2024-02-15-preview'; declare @headers nvarchar(102) = N'{"api-key":"OPENAI_KEY"}'; declare @payload nvarchar(max) = N'{ "messages": [ { "role": "system", "content": "You are an AI assistant that helps people find information." }, { "role": "user", "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "what is this an image of?" }, { "type": "image_url", "image_url": { "url": "DALLE3_IMAGE_URL" } } ] } ] }'; declare @ret int, @response nvarchar(max); exec @ret = sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint @url = @url, @method = 'POST', @headers = @headers, @payload = @payload, @timeout = 230, @response = @response output; select @ret as ReturnCode, @response as Response;
-
Replace the OPENAI_KEY text with the Model Deployment Key. Also, replace the DALLE3_IMAGE_URL with the url of the fantastical image you just created.
-
Execute the SQL statement with the run button.
-
View the return message and see if the new GPT-4o model was able to describe it.
"message": { "content": "This is an image of a bright green t-shirt with short sleeves. It has a small black graphic on the left chest area, which appears to be an abstract or stylized design. The neckline is round and there’s a hint of a tag visible through the collar. The hem at the bottom of the shirt also features a black trim.", "role": "assistant" }
