AI Analysis

Microsoft announced MAI-Thinking-1, its first advanced in-house reasoning model, described as medium-sized and matching leading models on key software-engineering benchmarks. Microsoft says it was trained from scratch on clean data without distillation from third-party models, as it loosens ties with OpenAI.

Microsoft announced a bunch of new in-house AI models at Build 2026, including a new "flagship" model: MAI-Thinking-1. It's an ambitious step into model development for Microsoft, which introduced its initial in-house models last year - before then, it had relied on OpenAI's models. The two companies recently renegotiated their deal to loosen ties. According to Microsoft, MAI-Thinking-1 is a "medium-sized model" that "matches leading models" on "key" software engineering benchmarks. Mic
