Microsoft reportedly plans to start using Anthropic models to power some of Office 365's Copilot features


Microsoft currently relies on OpenAI models to power the majority of AI features found inside of Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint.

However, in recent months reports of a growing impasse between the two in negotiations over OpenAI's plan to restructure its for-profit division as a public benefit corporation have bubbled up. "As we’ve said, OpenAI will continue to be our partner on frontier models and we remain committed to our long-term partnership," a company spokesperson told The Information. According to The Information, Microsoft does not plan to charge more for access to Anthropic models in Office 365, with Copilot pricing set to remain at $30 per user per month.
