Specifications

Provider-documented facts. “Not collected” means we have not verified that field yet, not that the feature is unsupported.

Context / input limit
32,768 tokensSource for Context / input limit (opens in a new tab)

Azure guide page 29 calls max_tokens an output maximum while explicitly including prompt/system tokens. Preserve it as a shared request limit; independent input and output maxima remain unverified.

Maximum input tokens

Maximum output

32768 is documented as max_tokens including prompt/system tokens; not proven as an independent generated-output allowance.

Fine-tuning

Private/customized enterprise offering. The public Azure tsuzumi 2 offer explicitly excludes tuning.

Hardware requirements
Private model designed for one GPU with 40 GB or less memorySource for Hardware requirements (opens in a new tab)

Vendor deployment target; Azure VM quota requirements are separate and do not follow from this minimum design target.

Generation controls
max_tokens default/cap 32768 including prompt; temperature 0.6; top_k -1; repetition_penalty 1.0Source for Generation controls (opens in a new tab)
Published price
Private deployment: contact provider. Azure: GPU-time billing with a model surcharge; not a per-token tariffSource for Published price (opens in a new tab)
Usage metering
Azure model surcharge: USD 0.76 per A100 or H100 GPU-hour, plus infrastructure costsSource for Usage metering (opens in a new tab)

The surcharge is not the complete cost to run an Azure GPU. A zero monthly base does not make deployment free.

Customization options
Provider-assisted adapter and full fine-tuning outside the Azure offerSource for Customization options (opens in a new tab)
Retrieval context inputs
chat_template_kwargs.documents accepts document text with optional id, title, date and URL; today_date sets the request dateSource for Retrieval context inputs (opens in a new tab)

Supplied retrieval context is not a model embedding or reranking API.

Access & pricing

Prices belong to an endpoint and billing tier. A provider listing does not guarantee access for every account or region.

Provider source (opens in a new tab)
API model ID
tsuzumi2

Value in the provider’s env.sample, used by its streaming client. Managed endpoint is specific to the customer deployment.

Access
Managed online deployment via an Azure AI Hub project, requiring GPU quota. GPU uptime drives billing. Provider sample sets MODEL_NAME=tsuzumi2; exact deployed revisions are not pinned.
Regions
Japan-resident Azure tenants only. Guide warns about overseas data transfer without pinning a single serving region; choose and confirm the deployed region.
Supported API routes
/v1/chat/completionsSource for Supported API routes (opens in a new tab)
Input modalities
TextSource for Input modalities (opens in a new tab)

Guide explicitly excludes multimodal service. The announced document-image update is a separate record.

Tool calling

Rate conditions

  1. NTT DATA software/model surcharge for the specified GPU family, in USD. Azure GPU/VM infrastructure and other resources are additional. Billed while GPU is running, not per request or per token. A100 and H100 rows are alternatives, not two fees on one GPU. No-refund PayGo terms and region/subscription eligibility apply.

Data & enterprise terms

Guide says inference results are not used for other tenants’ models. No zero-retention claim verified. Marketplace excludes CSP, while the newer guide says availability can depend on the CSP provider; confirm eligibility.

No independently callable public model selector verified for this access reference.

Access
On-premises or private-cloud enterprise deployment by contract; customization available through the provider.
Regions
Contract, deployment and NTT group service determine availability and data location.
Fine-tuning

Enterprise customization, not the Azure public offer.

Data & enterprise terms

Retention, training use, regional processing and enterprise terms have not been summarized for this endpoint.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

NTT identifies this as its proprietary, independently developed product model, distributed through commercial services and private deployments. No matching public checkpoint release was verified. Closed-weight classification is inferred for the exact product identity, not from provider ownership alone.
