Microsoft's new MAI models

Microsoft has announced two new language models: MAI-Thinking-1, which has 1 trillion parameters with 35 billion active parameters, and MAI-Code-1-Flash, featuring 137 billion parameters with 5 billion active parameters. Both models are designed for specific applications, with MAI-Code-1-Flash optimized for GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code. The training for both models utilized clean, commercially licensed data, although it was later clarified that the training data includes a proprietary web crawl, raising questions about licensing practices in the development of large language models.
