MAI-Thinking-1 is coming to Baseten

Baseten and Microsoft AI have announced the integration of Microsoft's new reasoning model, MAI-Thinking-1, with Baseten, offering a unique blend of open-source control and proprietary model convenience. MAI-Thinking-1 is designed for AI teams who seek a balance between capability and control, featuring clean data lineage, post-training customization options, and a commercial-grade design that ensures data integrity and privacy, with Microsoft having no access to user data. This model is built on 35 billion active parameters for efficiency, providing significant capability at a cost-effective scale. Through Baseten, users can optimize and customize the model in a secure enterprise-grade environment, with the assurance that their fine-tuned models remain under their control. Baseten's training SDK, Loops, supports various post-training workflows, allowing businesses to maintain ownership of their AI developments. This partnership aims to empower AI-enabled businesses to control their intelligence, contrasting with models that bind users to external infrastructure and terms.
