satyanadella · x · 2026-10-10
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced Microsoft-Decision-1, a new model purpose-built for structured decision tasks. Unlike LLMs that generate text or reason through problems, it outputs structured results software can act on immediately, reportedly outperforming both LLMs and other decision models on latency and quality.
Nadella says Microsoft is already testing it internally for incident response, quality control, and scientific discovery. The official blog frames decision models as an emerging AI category whose core value is cheap, high-performance deciding and classifying.
