What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Microsoft announced MAI-Base-2, a mixture-of-experts model, that reportedly outperforms OpenAI's GPT-5.6 while using only a quarter of the computing resources used by OpenAI. Separately, Microsoft unveiled the Maia 300, its third-generation custom AI chip, which it plans to deploy widely to support its internal AI services. Furthermore, a renegotiation between Microsoft and OpenAI removed a previous 20% revenue share arrangement.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Microsoft's ability to build highly efficient proprietary models and custom hardware directly challenges the market dominance of Nvidia in the AI computing sector. The removal of the revenue share with OpenAI gives Microsoft a strong incentive to procure and deploy compute capacity rapidly.
