Microsoft touts MAI-Image-2.6-Flash as 2x faster with 72% GPU savings — but pricing is quote-only

Mustafa Suleyman announced Microsoft's new image model MAI-Image-2.6-Flash, claiming it generates images 2x faster than GPT-Image-2 while using 72% less GPU, enabling what he calls the best price-performance in the world.
However, user oyacaro pointed out that no actual pricing was published — the try link leads to a "request a quote" form — a stark contrast with the "incredible price" messaging. Real cost and availability remain opaque.
