About
MAI-Image-2.5 is a Microsoft AI text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing model. It supports precise edits such as object removal and replacement, attribute changes, inpainting, text updates, and artifact cleanup while preserving composition. Microsoft positions it for high-fidelity portraits, accurate text rendering inside images, and Azure AI Foundry Global Standard deployment across seven regions. It ranked #2 on the Arena AI image editing leaderboard and #3 on the Arena AI text-to-image leaderboard at launch, but no LLMReference-standard numeric image benchmark row is available yet.
