Introducing Maia 300, Microsoft’s next-generation accelerator. Building on the magic of Maia 200, it delivers 40% more inference tokens per megawatt compared to leading GPU-based systems, and up to 7x the rack-scale token throughput of Maia 200. It’s another step toward rethinking innovation and unlocking new possibilities. Discover how Maia 300 will help co-create what’s next for Microsoft’s infrastructure and technology:

Microsoft says Maia 300 will be its primary method of inference. @danielnewmanUV reads that as a margin play more than a threat to NVIDIA, and @PatrickMoorhead points out that Microsoft is funding the build-out from operations, with no new equity or major debt. $MSFT $NVDA

MOLDOVAN PRESIDENT MAIA SANDU SAID THE WAR IS “DANGEROUSLY REACHING” MOLDOVA AFTER FIVE RUSSIAN AIR ATTACK WEAPONS REPORTEDLY VIOLATED ITS AIRSPACE, WHILE FRESH STRIKES IN KHARKIV AND ODESA ALSO CAUSED DEATHS AND INJURIES.

BREAKING: Microsoft $MSFT is scaling its Maia chips to multi-gigawatt deployments in 2027 as its primary inference platform. The new Maia 300 promises 40% more tokens per megawatt than leading GPU systems and up to 7x the rack-scale throughput of Maia 200. Built on TSMC $TSM N2P process with HBM4 memory, Maia 300 could reduce Microsoft's reliance on NVIDIA $NVDA and $AMD for AI inference.
