About
MAI-Code-1 is Microsoft AI's inference-efficient coding model tuned for the GitHub and developer ecosystem. It is integrated into GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code for more capable agentic coding tasks than the lighter Flash variant. Microsoft had not published context window, parameter count, benchmark scores, or standalone token pricing at launch, so treat it as a Copilot-route coding model until more technical details are released.
MAI-Code-1 is a proprietary model in the MAI family. This page tracks provider routes through Microsoft Foundry. No headline benchmark score is tracked for MAI-Code-1 yet.
