Microsoft seeks expanded Maia 300 production to tap into demand for cheaper compute

Microsoft plans to unveil its new Maia 300 accelerator chip this fall, with a public announcement possible as early as next month, according to The Information. Although Microsoft has lagged Google and Amazon in scaling its in-house AI chips, it is targeting far higher production volumes for Maia 300 than for Maia 200 in hopes of attracting major clients such as Anthropic.
