Microsoft introduced MAI-Image-2, an artificial intelligence text-to-image model intended for creative professionals, the company said in an announcement.
The new model is beginning to roll out on Copilot and Bing Image Creator, and API access is available today for select Microsoft customers; access will open to developers on Microsoft Foundry soon, the announcement detailled.
MAI-Image-2 emphasises enhanced photorealism, more consistent in-image text generation and richly detailed scene composition, aimed at reducing time spent on post-production.
