About
MAI-Image-2.5-Pro is an image generation model from Microsoft AI (MAI), part of the MAI Image line that also includes MAI Image 2 Efficient, 2.6 and 2.7. Microsoft's site quotes a partner describing it as a step forward for generative media tools, citing accurate text rendering and support for natural-language edits.
The model creates images from text prompts and supports iterative editing through plain-language instructions. Microsoft positions the MAI models as integrating with the Microsoft platforms organizations already use, and offers custom fine-tuned models with data privacy controls.
The provided pages do not give a release date, pricing, API details or licensing for the 2.5 Pro version specifically. Newer versions (2.6 and 2.7) are now listed on the MAI site, so 2.5 Pro appears to have been superseded. Matt Wolfe mentioned it only briefly as a new Microsoft image model.
