An image model is easy to demo and surprisingly easy to misuse. At work, someone will ask for forty product shots in one consistent style, or for a sign removed from a photo without anything else moving, and the difference between a result and a mess is knowing which endpoint and which controls to use. AI-103 tests exactly that: generating images from text prompts and reference images, editing with masks, and choosing parameters that the chosen model actually supports. Today you deploy an image model in your own project, generate an image, change one region of it with a mask, and write down every control you set and why.

You do not get an answer back; you get a job, and you wait. The exam checks that you know the model Learn documents, how its job flow works, what you can send as reference media, and how you edit a generated video instead of paying to start again. At work, the same knowledge keeps a training or marketing team from burning budget on regenerated clips. Today you generate a short clip with Sora 2, poll the job to completion, download it, and remix it with one precise change.

It is in preview at the time of writing. It uses the Azure OpenAI v1 API, aligned with OpenAI’s native Sora 2 schema, so the client is the OpenAI SDK on your /openai/v1/ route, exactly as in Sessions 5 and 31.| Sora 2 operation (Learn’s name) | What it does | Python call in Learn’s samples |

Do the self-check above before you submit.Most text work in a real organisation is extraction: who is named in this letter, what is it about, what is the short version, and can the next system read the answer without a person retyping it? AI-103 expects you to do this two ways, with a language model held to a JSON schema and with the prebuilt capabilities of Azure Language in Foundry Tools, and to know which to choose. Microsoft has just made that choice sharper by marking several Language features as legacy. Today you extract entities, topics and a summary from the same text both ways and compare the two results honestly.

Do the self-check above before you submit.A complaint that says “thanks for nothing” is not positive, whatever its words suggest. A transcript can carry a customer’s phone number into a summary that fifty people read. And a compliance team does not want a pleasant paragraph; it wants the obligations, the deadlines and the risk in the same shape every time. AI-103 tests all of this: detecting sentiment, tone, safety issues and sensitive content, and customising model output for domain tasks such as compliance summarisation. Today you run sentiment with opinion mining, PII detection and a text safety check, then build a compliance summariser that only ever sees redacted text.

Sentiment analysis labels sentences and documents and returns confidence scores; opinion mining (show_opinion_mining=True) adds targets and assessments, also called aspect-based sentiment analysis. PII detection is a core Language capability; sentiment is legacy.
