Microsoft puts its own Maia 200 chip into production, with Maia 300 due 2027

What happened
Microsoft's Maia 200 chip is now running production workloads including Copilot, handling OpenAI models, Microsoft's own MAI models and open-source ones. Maia 300 arrives in 2027, which Microsoft expects to give 40% more per megawatt than leading GPU systems, with multi-gigawatt rollout also starting that year.
