About this tag
Microsoft MAI models are a family of in-house AI models introduced at Build 2026 for reasoning, coding, image generation, transcription, and voice. Available in limited preview through Microsoft's AI Playground and developer channels, these models represent Microsoft's effort to own more of the AI stack integrated with Windows, Azure, GitHub, and Microsoft 365.

The tag covers discussions around Microsoft's AI strategy, model capabilities, and developer access.
