Microsoft To Use Some AI From Anthropic In Shift From OpenAI


Microsoft is diversifying its AI portfolio by integrating some of Anthropic's AI features into Office 365 apps. "The move will blend Anthropic and OpenAI technology in the apps, after years in which Microsoft primarily used OpenAI for the new features in Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint," reports...

Microsoft will pay its cloud rival Amazon Web Services to access the Anthropic models, according to the report. OpenAI's launch of GPT-5 is a step up in quality but Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 performs better in creating Powerpoint presentations that are more aesthetically pleasing, the report said. Microsoft plans to announce the move in the coming weeks, while the price of AI tools in Office will stay the same, the report said.
