**What are endpoints in Azure AI?**
**Endpoints in Azure AI** are secure URLs through which AI services or models can be accessed and used by client applications. They allow external systems to send data and receive responses from models for tasks like prediction, classification, or content generation.
There are typically two types:
- **Real-time endpoints**: Provide immediate, on-demand inference.
- **Batch endpoints**: Process large volumes of data asynchronously.
Endpoints manage authentication, traffic, and deployment versions, enabling seamless integration of AI capabilities into applications.
