According to The Information, Microsoft is developing a new AI model, internally named MAI-1, designed to compete with the leading models from Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI. This significant step forward in the tech giant's AI capabilities is boosted by Mustafa Suleyman, the former Google AI leader who previously served as CEO of Inflection AI before Microsoft acquired the majority of its staff and intellectual property for $650 million in March. MAI-1 is a custom Microsoft creation that utilizes training data and technology from Inflection but is not a transferred model. It is also distinct from Inflection's previously released Pi models, as confirmed by two Microsoft insiders familiar with the project. With approximately 500 billion parameters, MAI-1 will be significantly larger than its predecessors, surpassing the capabilities of Microsoft's smaller, open-source models.
