Microsoft just dropped seven AI models in a single day. Announced on June 2 at the Build developer conference in San Francisco, the new models represent the company’s largest single expansion of its in-house AI lineup to date. They cover reasoning, image generation and editing, coding, voice, and transcription, all built under the Microsoft AI (MAI) brand by the team that CEO Mustafa Suleyman assembled specifically for this purpose.
What Microsoft actually shipped
MAI-Thinking-1 is the company’s first dedicated reasoning model, a system that works through multi-step logic problems before responding.
MAI-Image-2.5 handles image generation and editing, aimed at businesses that need visual content creation integrated into their existing Microsoft toolchains.
MAI-Code-1-Flash targets coding tasks, with the “Flash” designation hinting at speed optimization.
