Inflection AI's foundation model, powering the Pi assistant and the company's enterprise tier. Inflection 3.0, released October 2024, pairs a Pi conversational model with a Productivity model and runs on Intel Gaudi 3 hardware with on-premises or cloud deployment. Most of the original research team moved to Microsoft in 2024, after which the company pivoted to enterprise work.

Adoption

1 low confidence
1.0

After Microsoft's 2024 acqui-hire of most of the research team, Inflection pivoted to enterprise API access, but no usage of any kind -- users, customers or revenue -- has since been disclosed. With no published figure to read from, the reading here is a directional placement rather than one confirmed by a measured figure.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_AI recorded 2026-08-13

    March 2024 - "Microsoft acqui-hiring nearly the entirety of its 70-person workforce"; "As part of the deal, Microsoft paid Inflection $650 million to license its technology". No user, customer or revenue figure published.

Capability

2 low confidence
2.0

Inflection 3.0 was built for emotional intelligence and productivity rather than leaderboard performance, and was never a frontier model even at release. Development halted after Microsoft took most of the research team, and no independent benchmark has appeared since, leaving it far behind the 2026 frontier models.
