Microsoft takes on AI rivals with three new foundational models | TechCrunch
""At Microsoft AI, we're building Humanist AI. We have a distinct view when creating our AI models - putting humans at the center, optimizing for how people actually communicate, training for practical use.""
""MAI-Transcribe-1 transcribes speech across 25 different languages into text and is 2.5 times faster than Microsoft's Azure Fast offering, according to a company press release.""
""In an increasingly crowded LLM market, MAI hopes a selling point for these models is that they are cheaper than those from Google and OpenAI, the company wrote in the blog post.""
""MAI-Voice-1 is an audio-generating model that allows users to generate 60 seconds of audio in one second and create a custom voice.""
Microsoft AI launched three foundational AI models: MAI-Transcribe-1 for speech transcription, MAI-Voice-1 for audio generation, and MAI-Image-2 for video generation. These models are designed to be faster and cheaper than competitors like Google and OpenAI. MAI-Transcribe-1 transcribes in 25 languages, while MAI-Voice-1 can generate audio quickly and create custom voices. The models were developed by the MAI Superintelligence team, led by Mustafa Suleyman, who emphasized a human-centered approach in AI development. Microsoft remains committed to its partnership with OpenAI despite these releases.
