Infrastructure for the frontier era: Scaling intelligence through open industry collaboration

At Microsoft, our vision is to build a Frontier Firm: one where people and technology work together, combining human expertise, context, and judgment with technology that can extend intelligence throughout everyday work. The potential is significant: helping people create, solve complex problems, and make progress on some of society’s most consequential challenges. But realizing that potential requires frontier infrastructure. The next phase of Super Intelligence needs a unified infrastructure engine that delivers more intelligence with greater efficiency, making AI more available, reliable, and sustainable across science, healthcare, education, and the economy. This is the work of an entire ecosystem, and precisely the vision we have advanced for years through our industry collaboration within the Open Compute Project Foundation. As we enter the next phase of Super Intelligence, inference is becoming the dominant workload and that’s where efficiency, latency, and cost really matter. Azure Maia 300,…
