Microsoft's in-house MAI (Microsoft AI) series of foundation models. Microsoft-Decision-1 is planned to be rebased onto models from this series.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
The sequence of steps for developers to call MAI models through Vercel AI Gateway is: obtain an API key, consult the documentation, call the relevant endpoint through AI Gateway, and then go through the regular Vercel deployment process.
Vercel emphasized MAI's zero-data-retention posture, as well as transparency in training data usage.
Microsoft's MAI series models have officially been integrated into Vercel AI Gateway, covering three major modalities: voice generation, voice transcription, and image generation.
Previously the MAI image models were mainly offered through Microsoft's own platforms such as Azure AI Foundry, and this launch on a third-party AI Gateway constitutes an expansion of distribution channels.
Microsoft plans to migrate Decision-1 to other foundation models in the future, including Microsoft's own MAI and OpenAI's models.
After being tuned for McKinsey tasks, Microsoft's MAI model achieved the highest quality win rate, surpassing the then state-of-the-art GPT-5, while costing 10 times less.
MAI stands for Microsoft AI and is a series of image generation models independently developed by Microsoft apart from OpenAI.
The rise of the MAI series of models indicates that Microsoft has the strategic intent to build an independent technology stack in order to reduce external dependence on OpenAI.
MAI is the brand code name for models self-developed by Microsoft's AI team.
