Microsoft chooses Anthropic over OpenAI's GPT-5 for coding: Company explains why
Microsoft is reportedly favoring Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 over OpenAI's GPT-5 for GitHub Copilot users, citing superior internal benchmarks. This strategic shift extends to Microsoft 365 Copilot, where Anthropic models will power some features. Despite a new deal with OpenAI and a potentially massive return on investment, Microsoft is also investing heavily in training its own AI models.
