Microsoft launches its own AI models to take on OpenAI and Anthropic
Microsoft has unveiled a family of seven in-house AI models at its annual Build developer conference in San Francisco, in the clearest sign yet that the tech giant is moving to reduce its dependence on the AI companies it has poured billions into. The headline release is MAI-Thinking-1, Microsoft's first reasoning model, trained from scratch on clean, commercially licensed data without distillation from third-party systems. A mid-sized model with 35 billion active parameters and a 256,000-token context window, it is designed for complex multi-step instructions, long-context reasoning and code generation.
