Microsoft Just Launched Its Own MAI Models

On June 2, 2026, at its Build developer conference, Microsoft announced a family of seven in-house AI models under the MAI brand, the most concrete step yet in the company’s plan to stop being just the best distributor of someone else’s frontier models. The lineup spans reasoning, coding, image generation, voice, and transcription, and it was unveiled during CEO Satya Nadella’s keynote alongside new agents, silicon, and a repositioning of Windows itself.
