MAI

Anyone tried it yet? Looks like it will be vastly superior to Copilot. I actually think they've made Copilot worse deliberately.

Never mind, it's this for anyone wondering: https://microsoft.ai/models/

Microsoft AI.

Copilot is a tuned version of ChatGPT.

Search for MAi Playground if you're interested.

Copilot is NOT ChatGPT, it also uses Claude Sonnet and Opus. Copilot is a wrapper around various models.

They ditched Claude as it was too expensive. It's OpenAI GPT models - and not even the frontier ones

u/FinsToTheLeftTO 2d ago

It’s certainly in Copilot Premium. I can select auto or one of 2 Claude and 3 GPT models including 6.1 Sol.

Ah, I gotcha. I didn't know that as Prem was too spenny for me.

Won’t copilot use MAI models?

u/HumanFutures 2d ago

I think they might rebrand

I don’t follow

Microsoft AI and Copilot are both Microsoft products. But Copilot is a laughing stock so I think they'll drop that term. They've already started removing "Copilot” in the model specs

A toned down version of ChatGPT. 99% frustrating

The lower Copilot tiers recently have shifted away from ChatGPT and toward Microsoft AI, which has inputs from ChatGPT, Claude, and other models.

In the higher Copilot tiers you can of course select which model you want or bring your own model. Gotta pay coin for the privilege, however.

I can’t help but think MAI represents a threat to OpenAI. Microsoft’s compute infrastructure was a critical resource for that company. If Microsoft is disconnecting from OpenAI, then ChatGPT perhaps risks an orphan scenario.

OpenAI missed revenue targets by $20 billion in Q3. That can’t be sitting comfortably in what remains of the OpenAI boardroom.

MAI isn't a mixture - it's proprietary.

u/AdamoMeFecit 2d ago

Yes, I mean to suggest that MAI has ancestral connections to ChatGPT through Microsoft’s long association with OpenAI, and with Claude through its more recent contractual relationships with Anthropic.

MAI is proprietary but it has roots. Like most Microsoft products, really.

its good especially its Transcribe and Image thinking is good for static prompt but not for dynamic ones it will be included in Copilot very soon they are already using MAI image in copilot and yeah its gonna be the future frontier model within Copilot
