Microsoft Unveils Maia 300 AI Chip For 2027 Deployment (Img: X)
New Delhi: Microsoft has unveiled its next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator chip, Maia 300, as the technology giant plans to expand its Azure Maia family of AI systems to multi-gigawatt deployments starting in 2027.
The announcement signals Microsoft’s efforts to reduce its dependence on companies such as Nvidia and AMD for the computing power required to run AI workloads.
Alongside the planned expansion, Microsoft said Maia 300, the successor to its Maia 200 AI chip, will become the primary system for running AI inference across its products and services.
Inference refers to the process through which a trained AI model responds to questions, generates outputs and completes tasks for users.
Microsoft said it would begin deploying Maia 300 chips in 2027 as it expands its AI computing infrastructure to support growing demand for artificial intelligence services.
