Microsoft published a new MAI model family in Azure AI Foundry on 2026-07-23. Four named releases cover text, image, voice, and speech workloads.
EXTRACTED DATA
Source document dated 2026-07-23 announces new MAI family availability within Microsoft Foundry. Named models: MAI-Thinking-1, MAI-Image-2.5, MAI-Voice-2, and MAI-Transcribe-1.5. Product scope spans reasoning, image generation, voice generation, and speech transcription.
MAI-Thinking-1 is positioned for reasoning tasks. The release note associates it with text-domain use inside Azure AI Foundry. No parameter count, training cutoff, or benchmark table is included in the source page.
MAI-Image-2.5 is listed as the image model in the same family. The source places it in the Microsoft Foundry catalog alongside text and speech models rather than as a standalone product line. Version numbering uses 2.5 for image and 1 for reasoning.
MAI-Voice-2 is identified for voice generation. MAI-Transcribe-1.5 is identified for speech-to-text transcription. The source separates voice and transcription into distinct model entries, indicating at least 2 speech-related functions within the same release group.
Publication context is Azure AI Foundry distribution rather than a research preprint or benchmark release. The source page is a product blog entry under Microsoft Tech Community. Deployment framing is catalog expansion across 4 modalities, not a single-model update.
Model naming is internally consistent: all 4 entries carry the MAI prefix. Suffixes vary by task and version: Thinking-1, Image-2.5, Voice-2, Transcribe-1.5. Decimal versioning appears on 2 of 4 entries. Integer versioning appears on 2 of 4 entries.
The source text describes coverage across text, image, voice, and speech. No pricing table, regional rollout matrix, or deprecation notice is present in the extracted page. No retirement of prior MAI entries is stated in the same document.
INTEGRITY NOTES
Integrity check: passed. Model names and version suffixes recomputed against 4 release entries with 0 naming deviation.
Source page timestamp 2026-07-23 and Azure AI Foundry placement verified. Formatting stable; internal distortions not detected.
