Our MAI Diagnostic system is now 1.7x more accurate than physicians in the ED, even when they have access to the web to look things up.
It's also lower cost & does fewer medical tests to get to its diagnosis.

A few thoughts on our Humanist AI Code of Conduct that we released for consultation yesterday.
More exciting news from @MicrosoftAI: MAI-Image-2.6 is #2# in Text-to-Image Arena with 1,331 pts, and joins the Pareto frontier!
At $38.90 per 1K output images (~$0.039/image), it outperforms Grok Imagine Image 2.0 while also costing less.
MAI-Image-2.6 ranks #2# in:
- Product, Branding & Commercial Design
- 3D Imaging & Modeling
- Cartoon, Anime & Fantasy
- Art
- Text Rendering
It also ranks #3# in Portraits and Photorealistic & Cinematic Imagery.

Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.6-Flash takes #3# on the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard, a significant jump over the previous generation’s Flash variant and joining MAI-Image-2.6 on the Pareto frontier for quality vs price
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is an optimized version of MAI-Image-2.6, Microsoft AI's flagship image model, released today on Microsoft Foundry alongside MAI-Image-2.6. Like the rest of the family, it handles both text to image generation and image editing.
In the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, MAI-Image-2.6-Flash lands at #3# in Image Editing, behind only Microsoft's own MAI-Image-2.6 and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 (high) and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana 2. In Text to Image it takes #8#, within 5 Elo points of MAI-Image-2.5 and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana Pro.
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is a large step up on MAI-Image-2.5-Flash at the same price: it sits 69 Elo points higher in Text to Image (#16# to #8#) and 34 Elo points higher in Image Editing (#12# to #3#).
MAI-Image-2.6 and MAI-Image-2.6-Flash are available today on Microsoft Foundry.
Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!

Thanks for the support @AndrewYNg! Completely agree, faster token generation will become increasingly important as a greater proportion of output tokens are consumed by models, such as in multi-step agentic workflows, rather than being read by people.

We hit No.3 on the Image-editing benchmark! ... beating Google’s Nano Banana and Meta’s Muse Image models.
Our first reasoning model, MAI-Thinking-1, is built from scratch. Now available in Microsoft Foundry. Kudos to the team! More below.
Our latest code model is 25% more efficient, higher quality, and a quarter of the cost than our model launched in June. Now live in GitHub Copilot - try it out.
MAI-Image-2.6 is now the #2# text-to-image model in the world - beating out Nano Banana, Meta, and Grok! Fantastic moment for the team who've been hill climbing relentlessly. Try it out now on Arena!
Introducing Ode Poetry. Ode is a wonderful poetry pharmacy that reads you a poem for the moment you’re in. Just tell Ode what you're feeling, and it uses Microsoft AI audio models to connect you with the same work that poetry expert William Sieghart would recommend.
The best technology doesn't replace human creativity, it helps more people experience it. Super proud of the team for making this truly humanist tool. More in the blog:
