Join Microsoft as we share more on Maia 200 in the Bay Area

In the next major step in our AI Infrastructure evolution, last week we introduced Maia 200, a breakthrough inference accelerator engineered to dramatically improve the economics of AI token generation.

Microsoft engineering leaders will be showcasing our latest silicon innovation in San Francisco this month. Here are a few ways you can learn more and engage with this exciting technology and the team behind it:

Maia 200 ISSCC Whitepaper

Microsoft has submitted a technical whitepaper around Maia 200 as part of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). The paper will be released on Friday, February 13^th to ISSCC attendees and be available after the conference digitally on IEEE.

The paper is titled “Maia: A Reticle-Scale AI Accelerator” by Sherry Xu, Partner, Silicon Architecture at Microsoft.

ISSCC Session

Leadership from Azure Hardware and Systems will present a 25-minute session on Maia development titled "MAIA: A Reticle-Scale AI Accelerator" at the ISSCC conference at 2:45 PM (Session 17.4) as part of the wider ISSCC Session 17 "Highlighted Chip Releases for AI" that begins at 1:30 PM inside the Marriott Marquis in downtown San Francisco.

During the session, we will highlight our design approach for Maia 200 and walk through the architecture and implementation of Microsoft’s Maia AI silicon. We’ll also share how the team engineered a reticle‑limited, ~750W AI SoC and the innovations that enabled a scalable, high‑performance accelerator.

Join us at the Microsoft Silicon Social Event

Microsoft will also be hosting a Silicon Social in downtown San Francisco on the evening of the 17^th. Maia 200 will be on-site marking its first public appearance outside of Microsoft labs and Azure datacenters, along with a selection of other Microsoft silicon hardware. Microsoft’s silicon engineering leadership will be attending, and we will provide food and drink during the event.

All ISSCC attendees and others in the Bay Area silicon community are invited to register interest in attending by February 13^th. Due to limited capacity, confirmed attendees will receive a follow‑up email with event details, including the venue.
