No lab has reached the image frontier faster.
Microsoft AI: 864 → 1147 Elo in nine months. That's 377 points a year — 1.6× the next-fastest climb on the board.

Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.6-Flash takes #3 on the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard, a significant jump over the previous generation’s Flash variant and joining MAI-Image-2.6 on the Pareto frontier for quality vs price
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is an optimized version of MAI-Image-2.6, Microsoft AI's flagship image model, released today on Microsoft Foundry alongside MAI-Image-2.6. Like the rest of the family, it handles both text to image generation and image editing.
In the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, MAI-Image-2.6-Flash lands at #3 in Image Editing, behind only Microsoft's own MAI-Image-2.6 and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 (high) and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana 2. In Text to Image it takes #8, within 5 Elo points of MAI-Image-2.5 and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana Pro.
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is a large step up on MAI-Image-2.5-Flash at the same price: it sits 69 Elo points higher in Text to Image (#16 to #8) and 34 Elo points higher in Image Editing (#12 to #3).
MAI-Image-2.6 and MAI-Image-2.6-Flash are available today on Microsoft Foundry.
Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!

Thanks for the support @AndrewYNg! Completely agree, faster token generation will become increasingly important as a greater proportion of output tokens are consumed by models, such as in multi-step agentic workflows, rather than being read by people.
Shoutout to the team that built artificialanalysis.ai/ . Really neat site that benchmarks the speed of different LLM API providers to help developers pick which models to use. This nicely complements the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, Hugging Face open LLM leaderboards and Stanford's HELM that focus more on the quality of the outputs.
I hope benchmarks like this encourage more providers to work on fast token generation, which is critical for agentic workflows!
