Microsoft moves 'further away' from OpenAI, adds Anthropic AI model to Copilot assistant
Microsoft is diversifying its AI strategy by integrating Anthropic's models into its 365 Copilot, offering an alternative to OpenAI. Users in the Frontier program can access Claude Opus 4.1 in Researcher, while corporate customers can choose Claude Sonnet 4 and Opus 4.1 in Copilot Studio. This move signals a shift as OpenAI builds partnerships with Oracle, Broadcom and Nvidia.
