Microsoft is integrating Anthropic’s AI models into Copilot, alongside OpenAI tools.

Business users can now choose:

Claude Opus 4.1 – for complex reasoning, coding, and architecture planning

Claude Sonnet 4 – for routine development, data processing, and content generation

The move follows Microsoft’s deal to bring Anthropic AI into Office 365 apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook, signaling a gradual diversification from OpenAI.
