The specific features of the maai models remain largely undisclosed, but insider reports indicate that they have already undergone testing for potential integration into Microsoft's products, particularly Co-pilot and Microsoft 365.

The acronym maai not only stands for Microsoft's artificial intelligence initiative but could also reference the company's AI accelerator chip, Maya 100, launched last year. This chip is fundamental to powering advanced AI models and is part of Microsoft's larger vision for AI development.
