微软计划到 2027 年将自研 Maia AI 芯片扩展至吉瓦级规模
Microsoft plans to scale its own Maia AI chips to gigawatt levels by 2027
微软计划从 2027 年起以多吉瓦规模部署 Azure Maia AI 芯片，并将其作为各产品线的主要推理系统。Maia 200 已在美国、欧洲和澳大利亚运行 Microsoft Copilot，GitHub Copilot 和 Foundry 将在年底前跟进；微软称其在 Teams 中每瓦 token 吞吐量最高可达领先 GPU 的 1.7 倍。

Microsoft plans to deploy its Azure Maia AI chips at multi-gigawatt scale starting in 2027. They'll become the company's main inference system across its products, executive Scott Guthrie writes. Maia 200 already runs Microsoft Copilot in the US, Europe, and Australia. GitHub Copilot and Foundry follow by year's end. CEO Satya Nadella calls it "our biggest bet yet on our own silicon." The chip handles OpenAI, MAI, and open-source models, and Microsoft says it pushes up to 1.7 times more tokens per watt than leading GPUs in Teams.
Its successor, Maia 300, ships in 2027 and targets long inputs, fast chats, and agentic tasks. Microsoft claims 40 percent more tokens per megawatt than leading GPU systems. A 96-chip rack should produce up to seven times the tokens of a Maia 200 rack. The technical report covers the details, with more coming in November at Ignite 2026.
