Everyone's debating GPT vs Claude.
Meanwhile, Microsoft shipped 7 in-house models, and one of them is already running inside your IDE without you choosing it.
Microsoft AI's MAI is built to help people stay updated with the fast-moving AI world with seven new models across reasoning, coding, image, voice, and transcription.
All of them are developed from the square one without leaning on other companies' AI systems.
Here's what actually matters for your stack:
1. Your IDE already runs MAI code.
2. Beats Claude Sonnet 4.6 in evals.
3. Transcription is 5 times faster than competitors.
4. RL trains directly on your workflows.
The debate was always about who owns the model running in your stack rather than ChatGPT vs Claude.
Which MAI model are you testing first?
