This page reports on Microsoft's announcement of three new foundational AI models. MAI-Transcribe-1 transcribes speech from 25 languages into text, operating 2.5 times faster than Azure Fast. MAI-Voice-1 is an audio generation model capable of producing 60 seconds of audio in one second with custom voice options. MAI-Image-2 generates video content. Released on Microsoft Foundry and MAI Playground, these models demonstrate Microsoft's continued commitment to building its own multimodal AI stack while remaining connected to OpenAI.
