Scott Guthrie, the company's Executive Vice President, said that Maia 200 has "30% better performance per dollar" than current-generation technology. This makes it the company's most economical AI processor to date. The processor will run OpenAI's GPT-5.2 models, as well as Microsoft 365 Copilot and Foundry apps.
The first deployments are happening now at Microsoft's data centers in Iowa and Arizona, and more are planned. The business also released a Maia software development kit that includes support for PyTorch and the Triton compiler to help developers make models work better on the chip.
