# Microsoft AI — MAI-Code-1.1-Flash > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is the record of one model version: what the model registry states about it, Microsoft AI's launch post, the first-party posts this record holds about it, the outlets that reported on those posts, and other companies' announcements that it runs on their platforms. A model ranks nothing here and nothing is composed: each date names whose it is, and a field nothing states is `not stated` rather than missing. - This model's page: https://forck.live/models/mai-code-1-1-flash - Microsoft AI's page: https://forck.live/company/microsoft-ai - Every model: https://forck.live/models - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Model - Name: MAI-Code-1.1-Flash - Company: Microsoft AI (microsoft.ai) - Launch post: MAI-Code-1.1-Flash: Better, faster, at a quarter of the cost — https://forck.live/items/8416-mai-code-1-1-flash-better-faster-at-a-quarter-of-the-cost - Announced: 2026-08-11 - Launch source: https://microsoft.ai/news/mai-code-1-1-flash-br-better-faster-at-a-quarter-of-the-cost - Launch chosen by: a person, pinned in the model registry - Released (per models.dev): 2026-08-11 - Listed (per OpenRouter): not stated - Open weights: not stated - Posts about it: 1 - Outlets named under its posts: 0 - Price: at a quarter of the cost compared to the model we launched in June at Microsoft Build — from https://forck.live/items/8416-mai-code-1-1-flash-better-faster-at-a-quarter-of-the-cost ## Posts about it _Microsoft AI's own posts whose title names MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, and its launch post, in the record's order: dated newest first, undated last. The record reads the newest 50 first-party posts mentioning the model, every company's together, so a model mentioned more often than that lists the newest of them._ Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. ### Microsoft AI — MAI-Code-1.1-Flash: Better, faster, at a quarter of the cost - Company: Microsoft AI (microsoft.ai) - Announced: 2026-08-11 - Category: model-update - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: models - Source: https://microsoft.ai/news/mai-code-1-1-flash-br-better-faster-at-a-quarter-of-the-cost - Record: https://forck.live/items/8416-mai-code-1-1-flash-better-faster-at-a-quarter-of-the-cost - Subject: MAI Bringing MAI-Code-1.1-Flash to on-device hardware: Optimized using 3-bit quantization, it reduces memory requirements while retaining a full 256K context window and comparable coding performance to its full-precision counterpart on SWE-Bench Verified and Terminal-Bench 2.1. On-device coding, with zero inference charges for local model calls .

MAI-Code-1.1-Flash is available to download and run locally . For best performance, we recommend devices with more than 120GB of RAM. Experimental access will be available in GitHub Copilot across the GitHub Copilot app, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Visual Studio Code by end of the month. MAI-Code-1.1-Flash produces higher quality code, at 25% greater token efficiency, and at a quarter of the cost compared to the model we launched in June at Microsoft Build. This small, efficient, coding workhorse is now in production in GitHub Copilot. We learned from developer feedback that CLI tasks and .NET performance mattered, so that’s where we focused. … ## Who reported on it _This record names no outlet that reported on these posts._ ## Where it runs _Other companies' own announcements naming MAI-Code-1.1-Flash and Microsoft AI — each is that company's post, not Microsoft AI's._ ### GitHub — Upcoming deprecation of MAI-Code-1-Flash - Company: GitHub (github.com) - Announced: 2026-08-11T18:50:42+00:00 - Category: deprecation - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-08-11-upcoming-deprecation-of-mai-code-1-flash - Record: https://forck.live/items/3775-upcoming-deprecation-of-mai-code-1-flash - Subject: Copilot GitHub announces the deprecation of MAI-Code-1-Flash across all GitHub Copilot experiences on September 10, 2026, with MAI-Code-1.1-Flash as the suggested alternative. ### GitHub — MAI-Code-1.1-Flash available in GitHub Copilot - Company: GitHub (github.com) - Announced: 2026-08-11T18:13:56+00:00 - Category: model-update - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: models - Source: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-08-11-mai-code-1-1-flash-available-in-github-copilot - Record: https://forck.live/items/3776-mai-code-1-1-flash-available-in-github-copilot - Subject: Copilot Microsoft's MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, an updated small coding model with vision support and improved performance, is rolling out in GitHub Copilot at a reduced price. --- Record: https://forck.live/models/mai-code-1-1-flash Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt Current issue: https://forck.live/feed.md
