Our newest AI accelerator Maia 200 is now online in Azure. Designed for industry-leading inference efficiency, it delivers 30% better performance per dollar than current systems. And with 10+ PFLOPS FP4 throughput, ~5 PFLOPS FP8, and 216GB HBM3e with 7TB/s of memory bandwidth it's optimized for large-scale AI workloads. It joins our broader portfolio of CPUs, GPUs, and custom accelerators, giving customers more options to run advanced AI workloads faster and more cost-effectively on Azure.

Rho-alpha, which translates natural language commands into control signals for robotic systems doing bimanual manipulation tasks, aims to make physical systems more adaptable by using physical sensing modalities like touch and continuous learning from human feedback. msft.it/6018QBUCn

AI didn’t just make progress this year, it delivered breakthroughs. Microsoft researchers introduced Majorana 1, the world’s first quantum processor built with topological qubits, shared Aurora to predict extreme weather faster than ever, and developed FCDD to improve early breast cancer detection. And that’s just the start. Explore 10 scientific innovations that made a global impact in 2025. msft.it/6007teLL3

We’re spotlighting some of the leading innovators who’ve joined Microsoft over the years and are now shaping the future of AI. From RSS to Python to Google Docs – meet people behind the platforms and check out what they’re creating next: msft.it/6006sF6k0
