As TechCrunch reports , there are three AI models:
The MAI–Image-2 model was initially released on March 19th on the MAI Playground, a new software platform for testing large language models. Now, all three models are being released on Microsoft Foundry, and the transcription and voice generation models are also available on the MAI Playground.
In an oversaturated LLM market, the company is betting that its models will be cheaper than those developed by Google and OpenAI, the company notes .
The cost of using MAI-Transcribe-1 starts at $0.36 per hour. MAI–Voice-1 costs from $22 per 1 million characters, and MAI–Image-2 costs from $5 per 1 million tokens for text input and $33 per 1 million tokens for image output.
