Recently, Microsoft officially launched a new image generation model — MAI-Image-2-Efficient, an upgraded version of its flagship model MAI-Image-2, which focuses on low cost and high efficiency. MAI-Image-2-Efficient provides production-level quality at nearly half the price, making it suitable for enterprises to generate images in practical applications, especially in scenarios requiring rapid generation of product photos and UI prototypes, where it performs particularly well.
According to Microsoft, this model has improved its generation speed by 22%, and overall efficiency has increased by four times, while costs have been reduced by 41%. Specifically, the cost for one million text inputs is $5, and the cost for one million image outputs is $19.50. This makes MAI-Image-2-Efficient highly competitive in the market, with a speed about 40% faster than top models from other cloud service providers.
MAI-Image-2-Efficient and MAI-Image-2 each have their own focus: the former emphasizes large-scale, fast generation and strict cost control, making it ideal for enterprise users who need efficient batch image generation. The latter focuses more on high-fidelity images, capable of generating more complex and stylized images, suitable for users with higher quality requirements.
Currently, MAI-Image-2-Efficient is officially available for commercial use and will soon be integrated into Microsoft's Copilot and Bing services, providing users with a more convenient image generation experience. Microsoft has promised to continue optimizing this tool to meet the needs of more users.
