- Microsoft’s first advanced reasoning AI is here
Microsoft announced its first in-house advanced AI model, MAI-Thinking-1, at Build 2026. The model is described as a medium-sized system that matches leading models on key software engineering benchmarks and was trained from scratch without relying on third-party models like those from OpenAI. The company has shifted toward developing its own AI models after renegotiating its partnership with OpenAI.
