The company introduced its Maia AI chip in November 2023 but has lagged rivals such as Alphabet and Amazon in scaling up ​its in-house chip efforts as it seeks to reduce its ​reliance on Nvidia's costly processors. Microsoft has been in talks with chipmaker TSMC to secure manufacturing capacity for more than 300,000 units of the chip for delivery in ​2027, according to the report. Microsoft packed the chip with a ⁠significant ​amount of SRAM, a type of memory ​that can provide speed advantages for AI systems handling large numbers of user requests.
