Microsoft has added Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4.1 to the selection available for Copilot users, marking a major shift as it pivots away from exclusively offering OpenAI models.
Anthropic’s models will be available across two areas at first – a new ‘Try Claude’ button appears in the researcher agent experience, and will also be available in Copilot Studio, where users can opt for Claude models to help with building custom AI agents.
