Claude available on Microsoft 365 Copilot and through Microsoft Foundry as a non-OpenAI frontier option
Microsoft announced that Anthropic's Claude models would be available inside Microsoft 365 Copilot and accessible to developers through the Microsoft Foundry developer platform. The deal makes Anthropic a parallel frontier-model option to OpenAI inside Microsoft's flagship productivity surface, and signals the end of Microsoft 365 Copilot as an OpenAI-exclusive endpoint. The arrangement runs alongside the Microsoft-OpenAI restructured partnership (October 2025) and is widely read as Microsoft hedging its frontier-model concentration risk.
