Microsoft debuts its first in-house MAI voice and foundation models
Microsoft AI released MAI-Voice-1 into Copilot Daily, Podcasts, and Copilot Labs while beginning public testing of MAI-1-preview, its first end-to-end in-house foundation model.
Why it matters: Microsoft began building a first-party model portfolio alongside partner and open models, giving it more control over Copilot's voice, latency, cost, and product behavior.
