Two models, two jobs
MAI-Image-2-Efficient is your production workhorse. Use it when you need volume, speed, and tight cost control — product shots, marketing creatives, UI mockups, branded assets, batch pipelines. It handles short-form text like headlines and labels cleanly, and it’s built to run in real-time, interactive workflows without breaking a sweat.
MAI-Image-2 is your precision tool. Reach for it when the brief demands the highest fidelity — portraits, photorealistic scenes, stylized looks like anime or illustration, and longer or more complex in-image text. This is the model for final deliverables where every detail matters.

MAI-Image-2-Efficient is available today in Microsoft Foundry and MAI Playground3. No waitlist, no preview — just plug it in and go. It’s also rolling out across Copilot and Bing, with more surfaces like PowerPoint coming soon.
Partners like Shutterstock are already testing with promising results:
“MAI-Image-2-Efficient shows strong progress in prompt fidelity and creative usability across a range of workflows. In our evaluation work, we look closely at how well models translate intent into consistent, production-ready outputs, and this model is trending in the right direction. That level of reliability is what ultimately matters when teams move from experimentation into real-world use.” – Vanessa Salvo, Principal Product Manager, Shutterstock
This is just the beginning. More models ahead — stay tuned.
