MicrosoftIn post-training
Microsoft AI said on Oct. 15, 2026 that pre-training of MAI-Base-2 is complete. It is a mixture-of-experts model with 80 billion active parameters and 2.8 trillion total parameters, trained on 16,000 Nvidia GB200 GPUs for 38 days in August and September 2026. Microsoft says the model is in post-training and that, on held-out tests it ran, the model beat every open-weight model compared. The 4.2 to 12.3 times FLOPs-efficiency claim versus DeepSeek-V4-Pro-Base is Microsoft's.

Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform. In the July 29, 2026 release, Satya Nadella said Azure revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time and was up 41%. The financial statements do not print a separate Azure revenue line. Intelligent Cloud, a wider segment, had quarterly revenue of $39.3 billion, up 32%.
Microsoft 365 is the company's productivity subscription, including the Copilot service discussed in the earnings release. Nadella said Microsoft 365 Copilot reached over 30 million paid seats in the year ended June 30, 2026. The release does not print a Microsoft 365 dollar total. Productivity and Business Processes is a wider segment and is not used here as a Microsoft 365 revenue figure.
Microsoft-Decision-1 is a decision-scoring model Microsoft opened in Foundry and on OpenRouter on Oct. 9, 2026. It is post-trained from Qwen3.5-9B and returns calibrated probabilities for fixed yes/no, multiple-choice, and rating options rather than generating open-ended text. Input tokens are $0.042 per million; output tokens are free. Microsoft says it will rebase the model on Microsoft AI and OpenAI systems. Latency and accuracy claims are company-reported.
Microsoft's third-generation inference accelerator, announced Oct. 12, 2026. Production deployments are planned for 2027. Microsoft says a rack holds 96 accelerators in a 167 kW envelope, with eight HBM4 stacks at 18.0 TB/s peak bandwidth inside a 950 W TDP, and compute chiplets on TSMC N2P. Microsoft expects up to 7x the rack token throughput of Maia 200 and 40% more tokens per megawatt than leading GPU systems. It is not offered for hourly rental. A general manager declined to set a date for multi-gigawatt deployment beyond the 2027 production start.
