Microsoft Drops Its Own AI Models

Microsoft unveils its first in-house AI models, marking a new step in its AI strategy.
Microsoft introduced two new models: MAI-Voice-1, built for fast speech generation, and MAI-1-preview, designed to showcase the future of Copilot. These models aim to improve speed, usefulness, and personalization in AI tools.
MAI-Voice-1 can generate a one-minute voice clip in under a second using only one GPU.
The model already powers Copilot Daily, where AI narrates daily news.
MAI-1-preview, trained on 15,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, is being tested for answering everyday questions and text-based tasks.
This move shows Microsoft’s effort to reduce reliance on OpenAI and build its own AI foundation, ensuring faster innovation and more control over its AI products.

Intel’s $3B Loss, Gov’t Steps In

A five-year warrant could give the U.S. government another 5% of Intel if the foundry unit is spun out.
Intel’s foundry business posted a $3.1 billion loss last quarter.
