Microsoft releases its first self-developed image generator MAI-Image-1

On October 14, Jin10 reported that Microsoft AI has just announced the launch of its first self-designed and developed text-to-image generation model, MAI-Image-1. The tech giant has recently released its first batch of self-developed Microsoft AI models and stated that this new image generator is "the next step in our journey." Microsoft (MSFT.O) indicated that the company sought feedback from professional creatives during the development process to avoid "repetitive or vague formulaic outputs." The company claims that MAI-Image-1 "excels" at generating realistic images such as lightning and landscapes. At the same time, it can process requests and generate images faster than "larger, slower models." The model has entered the top ten of the international large model arena, LMArena.
