Building a new class of safer, more capable AI systems we call Humanist Superintelligence: AI that is always aligned, controllable, and in service of humanity.microsoft.aiJoined July 2017
We now have state-of-the-art pre-trained base models in the 3T-parameter weight class, built entirely in-house at MAI.
Post-training results coming soon -- stay tuned!
Lots of details in our technical blog post.

No lab has reached the image frontier faster.
Microsoft AI: 864 → 1147 Elo in nine months. That's 377 points a year — 1.6× the next-fastest climb on the board.
MAI is hill-climbing 61% faster than any other lab in image generation. We've gained +283 Elo on text-to-image in 10 months to optimise the pareto frontier.
More exciting news from @MicrosoftAI: MAI-Image-2.6 is #2 in Text-to-Image Arena with 1,331 pts, and joins the Pareto frontier!
At $38.90 per 1K output images (~$0.039/image), it outperforms Grok Imagine Image 2.0 while also costing less.
MAI-Image-2.6 ranks #2 in:
- Product, Branding & Commercial Design
- 3D Imaging & Modeling
- Cartoon, Anime & Fantasy
- Art
- Text Rendering
It also ranks #3 in Portraits and Photorealistic & Cinematic Imagery.

MAI-Image-2.6 by @MicrosoftAI has landed in the Text-to-Image Arena at #2 (1336 pts)!
This release is just 45 pts behind GPT Image 2 (Medium) at #1, and ahead of #3 Grok Imagine Image 2.0 (Low) by 20 pts.
MAI-Image-2.6 is a significant improvement from MAI-Image-2.5 overall at
Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.6-Flash takes #3 on the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard, a significant jump over the previous generation’s Flash variant and joining MAI-Image-2.6 on the Pareto frontier for quality vs price
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is an optimized version of MAI-Image-2.6, Microsoft AI's flagship image model, released today on Microsoft Foundry alongside MAI-Image-2.6. Like the rest of the family, it handles both text to image generation and image editing.
In the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, MAI-Image-2.6-Flash lands at #3 in Image Editing, behind only Microsoft's own MAI-Image-2.6 and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 (high) and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana 2. In Text to Image it takes #8, within 5 Elo points of MAI-Image-2.5 and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana Pro.
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is a large step up on MAI-Image-2.5-Flash at the same price: it sits 69 Elo points higher in Text to Image (#16 to #8) and 34 Elo points higher in Image Editing (#12 to #3).
MAI-Image-2.6 and MAI-Image-2.6-Flash are available today on Microsoft Foundry.
Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!
