Coming in 2027, the Maia 300 will help Microsoft shift more workloads to its own AI chips, making it less reliant on Nvidia.
Microsoft on Monday unveiled the Maia 300, its third-generation AI chip. According to Microsoft, the new chip will be optimized to handle the latest reasoning AI models and agents, which should result in lower operating costs.
“We expect Maia 300 to deliver 40% more tokens per megawatt compared to leading GPU-based systems,” said Scott Guthrie, Microsoft’s executive vice president for cloud and AI, in a blog post.
The chip’s predecessor, the Maia 200, was launched in January and now supports Microsoft Copilot workloads, with GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Foundry to follow by the end of 2026, the company said. Microsoft plans to deploy the Maia 300 after the turn of the year.

The Maia 300 will make Microsoft less dependent on AI chips from Nvidia and AMD as Microsoft shifts more workloads to its own AI chips, noted The Verge.
“We will scale our Azure Maia family to multi-gigawatt deployments starting in 2027, making Maia the primary inference system for Microsoft products and services,” Guthrie said.
