Microsoft Build 2026 ships seven proprietary MAI models

Microsoft launched MAI-Thinking-1 (35B active parameters, 256K context, matching Claude Opus 4.6 on SWE Bench Pro at ~10x lower token cost), MAI-Code-1, MAI-Image-2.5, MAI-Transcribe-1.5, MAI-Voice-2, and the Microsoft Scout consumer agent. The company simultaneously cancelled internal Claude Code licenses, signalling effective independence from OpenAI.
