We now have state-of-the-art pre-trained base models in the 3T-parameter weight class, built entirely in-house at MAI.
Post-training results coming soon -- stay tuned!
Lots of details in our technical blog post.

MAI-Image-2.6 ranks #2 in:
- Product, Branding & Commercial Design
- 3D Imaging & Modeling
- Cartoon, Anime & Fantasy
- Art
- Text Rendering
It also ranks #3 in Portraits and Photorealistic & Cinematic Imagery.
Try it in Direct Mode, or vote in Battle Mode to help shape the live leaderboard.
MAI-Image-2.6 by @MicrosoftAI has landed in the Text-to-Image Arena at #2 (1336 pts)!
This release is just 45 pts behind GPT Image 2 (Medium) at #1, and ahead of #3 Grok Imagine Image 2.0 (Low) by 20 pts.
MAI-Image-2.6 is a significant improvement from MAI-Image-2.5 overall at #10 with (1256 pts), and across all categories. MAI will also be making it available on Playground with early API access on Foundry next week. See post below for more details.
Congrats to the @MicrosoftAI team on this release!

Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.6-Flash takes #3 on the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard, a significant jump over the previous generation’s Flash variant and joining MAI-Image-2.6 on the Pareto frontier for quality vs price
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is an optimized version of MAI-Image-2.6, Microsoft AI's flagship image model, released today on Microsoft Foundry alongside MAI-Image-2.6. Like the rest of the family, it handles both text to image generation and image editing.
In the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, MAI-Image-2.6-Flash lands at #3 in Image Editing, behind only Microsoft's own MAI-Image-2.6 and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 (high) and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana 2. In Text to Image it takes #8, within 5 Elo points of MAI-Image-2.5 and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana Pro.
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is a large step up on MAI-Image-2.5-Flash at the same price: it sits 69 Elo points higher in Text to Image (#16 to #8) and 34 Elo points higher in Image Editing (#12 to #3).
MAI-Image-2.6 and MAI-Image-2.6-Flash are available today on Microsoft Foundry.
Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!
See below for our analysis and example outputs of MAI-Image-2.6-Flash in the Artificial Analysis Image Arena 🧵

Thanks for the support @AndrewYNg! Completely agree, faster token generation will become increasingly important as a greater proportion of output tokens are consumed by models, such as in multi-step agentic workflows, rather than being read by people.
Shoutout to the team that built artificialanalysis.ai/ . Really neat site that benchmarks the speed of different LLM API providers to help developers pick which models to use. This nicely complements the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, Hugging Face open LLM leaderboards and Stanford's HELM that focus more on the quality of the outputs.
I hope benchmarks like this encourage more providers to work on fast token generation, which is critical for agentic workflows!

We hit No.3 on the Image-editing benchmark! ... beating Google’s Nano Banana and Meta’s Muse Image models.
MAI-Image-2.6-Preview by @MicrosoftAI has landed at #3 in Single Image Edit with 1,420 pts!
This is +19 pts above MAI-Image-2.5, moving from #5 to #3. It sits 19 pts behind preliminary Grok Imagine Image 2.0 (low) at #2 and 43 pts behind GPT Image 2 (medium) at #1.
By category, MAI-Image-2.6-Preview is #3 in across:
- Product, Branding & Commercial Design
- 3D Imaging & Modeling
- Cartoon, Anime & Fantasy
- Photorealistic & Cinematic Imagery
#4 in Portraits and #8 in Text Rendering. The biggest jumps over MAI-Image-2.5 are in Text Rendering (+43 pts) and Product, Branding & Commercial Design (+38 pts).
Congrats again to the @MicrosoftAI team on this release!

Today, we are announcing a series of updates that give customers frontier-grade security at half the cost.
MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is our first cybersecurity model, built ground up to find the most challenging vulnerabilities in complex code bases. When combined with MDASH, it delivers world-class performance at 50 percent of the cost of leading models.
We are bringing this capability to market through Project Perception, a complete agentic security offering grounded in real-world signals and security workflows. Teams of specialized agents work together to simulate attacks, detect and triage/investigate, and fix and remediate.
This is the benefit of building the harness, context/signals, and action space separate from one model family. By combining specialized models and data with the right agents, tools, security context, and harness, we can advance the frontier of cost to outcome.

Big news! Our new MAI-Cyber-1-Flash model combined with MDASH, our multi agent security harness, delivers 96% on the CyberGym benchmark, 12pts above Mythos, at HALF the cost.
Proud of the team. More details in THREAD:

As @satyanadella says, we're making great progress on shipping MAI models that are higher quality, faster and cheaper across MSFT.
In PowerPoint, our image model cut costs 84% compared with GPT-Image-2.
In OneDrive, it lifted save rates 26% and cut latency by ~25%. It's also the default model in Bing delivering great quality and performance.
In Dragon Copilot, our transcription model now covers 58 languages and halves the error rate on multilingual clinical transcription.
And of course the flights we have in motion on GitHub and Excel will no doubt be huge too!

MAI-Image-2.5-Pro launches today in Foundry for preview. It's our highest-fidelity, professional-grade image model.
It’s for super high quality imagery, detailed editing, precise in-image text rendering. It joins our image family of models so builders can pick the point on the quality-speed-cost curve that fits their job.

Introducing Ode Poetry. Ode is a wonderful poetry pharmacy that reads you a poem for the moment you’re in. Just tell Ode what you're feeling, and it uses Microsoft AI audio models to connect you with the same work that poetry expert William Sieghart would recommend.
The best technology doesn't replace human creativity, it helps more people experience it. Super proud of the team for making this truly humanist tool. More in the blog:
