MICROSOFT RELEASES TWO IN-HOUSE MODELS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Microsoft AI has launched MAI-Voice-1, a speech generation model that can produce a minute of audio in under a second, and MAI-1-preview, a mixture-of-experts foundation model trained on ~15,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. The technical capabilities of the models are unclear, but they indicate Microsoft's intention to reduce its reliance on OpenAI's model to power its AI offerings.
