Microsoft released three homegrown AI models — MAI-Transcribe-1, MAI-Voice-1, and MAI-Image-2 — through its new MAI division, directly competing with OpenAI on speech, voice, and image generation. The move, led by former DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, represents the most concrete step yet in Microsoft's strategy to reduce dependence on OpenAI, even as it holds a roughly 27% stake in the company valued at $135 billion and OpenAI prepares for a potential IPO.
