Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, explains how seven new models launched at Build 2026 form the building blocks of humanist superintelligence.

Microsoft's MAI Thinking 1 uses a 50% code pre-trained model with 35 billion active parameters, optimised for STEM reasoning rather than consumer use cases.

The humanist superintelligence framework tests whether technology accelerates human progress, particularly through scientific breakthroughs that improve health and longevity globally.

Mayo Clinic partnership will train a new foundation model from scratch using the world's largest digitised longitudinal patient records to democratise elite healthcare diagnostics.

"Every clinician is going to have an AI-assisted tool 24-7." - Mustafa Suleyman
