Microsoft launches Microsoft-Decision-1: a Qwen3.5-9B-based decision-scoring model at $0.042/M input tokens, free output, on Foundry and OpenRouter

On Oct 9 Microsoft released Microsoft-Decision-1, a decision-scoring model that returns calibrated probabilities over fixed options instead of generating text, aimed at routing, classification, verification, agent guardrails and AI judging. Microsoft reports top accuracy across 36 blind benchmarks, ~35x lower P50 latency than GPT-6 Sol and a 1.3% decision-flip rate under perturbation. Available on Microsoft Foundry and OpenRouter, 32K context, $0.042/M input, free output.

Microsoft launches Microsoft-Decision-1: a Qwen3.5-9B-based decision-scoring model at $0.042/M input tokens, free output, on Foundry and OpenRouter

Key Takeaways

  • Pricing: $0.042/M input tokens, $0 output, 32,768-token context (OpenRouter)
  • Vendor-reported: highest accuracy across 36 blind benchmarks (~150K questions); 2.5x faster than runner-up H2O-Lightning-4B v1.1 and 35x faster than GPT-6 Sol
  • Robustness: 1.3% average decision flips across 8 perturbation types; zero flips when options are paraphrased, reversed or shuffled
  • Base: post-trained from Qwen3.5-9B for single-pass scoring; Microsoft plans to rebase on MAI and OpenAI models
  • Internal use: Xbox Research labeled 10K+ feedback items at near GPT-6 Sol quality, 14x+ faster and ~200x cheaper (vendor-reported)

Microsoft takes MAI-Code-1.1-Flash local: 137B MoE scores 70.8% SWE-Bench Verified on-device, GitHub Copilot to route between local and cloud

At its Oct 7 Windows event Microsoft shipped an on-device MAI-Code-1.1-Flash (137B total / 6.8B active MoE, 256K context, ~3.3 bits per weight) on RTX Spark PCs, scoring 70.80% SWE-Bench Verified and 66.29% Terminal-Bench 2.1 locally. GitHub HydraFusion will route Copilot tasks between local and cloud models in experimental preview later in October, with no inference charge for local calls; MXC agent containment went GA the same day.

Microsoft takes MAI-Code-1.1-Flash local: 137B MoE scores 70.8% SWE-Bench Verified on-device, GitHub Copilot to route between local and cloud

Key Takeaways

  • On-device: 70.80% SWE-Bench Verified (cloud 72.6%) and 66.29% Terminal-Bench 2.1 (cloud 62.9%); GPT-OSS-120B scored 32.0% / 23.6% in the same test (Microsoft Command Line)
  • Footprint: ~3.3 bits/weight mixed precision plus DFlash2 speculative decoding; 75.5GB peak memory at 256K; 923.5 / 769.8 tok/s prompt processing at 64K / 128K
  • Routing: HydraFusion local+cloud routing reaches the Copilot app, Copilot CLI and VS Code in experimental preview later in October, with no inference charge for local calls (Windows Blog)
  • Available now: Copilot CLI 1.0.94-0+ discovers local Ollama models via /model (tool calling + streaming required) (GitHub Changelog)
  • Security: MXC agent containment is GA on Windows 11, already supported by Codex, Copilot, OpenClaw and LM Studio, with Claude Code and Hermes Agent among those to follow

Microsoft: frontier models power Copilot Autopilots; Project Opal runs multi-hour jobs on Windows 365

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says new frontier models are being brought into Copilot so it can move from Q&A and delegated tasks to completing long-running Autopilot jobs over hours or days. Example: an Opal-powered Autopilot on a secure Windows 365 Cloud PC processes a month of trail-cam footage, finding animals, building highlight reels, labeling camera/date/species, cataloging in a spreadsheet, drafting a PowerPoint, and sharing in Teams.

Key Takeaways

  • Capability: Copilot Autopilots own multi-hour/day end-to-end jobs, not just assistive Q&A.
  • Runtime: Project Opal Autopilot runs on secure Windows 365 Cloud PCs.
  • Demo: trail-cam pipeline covers find, reel, label, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, and Teams share.
