Microsoft just introduced OptiMind — a new AI system that turns plain English decision problems into solver-ready optimization models. Instead of needing an expert to manually convert business intent into MILP math, OptiMind generates the full mathematical formulation plus executable Python code using GurobiPy. The result: faster, cheaper optimization workflows for logistics, scheduling, manufacturing, and supply chains — with major accuracy gains on cleaned, expert-validated benchmarks.

🚨 Why It Matters.
Optimization is already the hidden engine behind supply chains, factories, routing, and scheduling — the problem is the translation step. Converting messy real-world requirements into correct MILP constraints takes rare experts and days of work. OptiMind targets that exact gap: natural language in, solver-ready decisions out. This is why it’s going viral — it’s not just AI text generation, it’s AI generating decisions.
