Microsoft has released an updated version of its coding model, MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, which offers a significant price reduction and improved efficiency. The new model costs a quarter of the previous version, with input tokens priced at $0.20 per million and output tokens at $1.20 per million. This move by Microsoft aims to address enterprise concerns about the high cost of generative AI and to remain competitive in a market with strong offerings from companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceXAI. AI
IMPACT This price reduction could lower the barrier for enterprises to adopt AI coding assistants, potentially increasing competition among AI model providers.
