DuckDuckGo’s Duck.ai giving users a free, anonymous window onto large open-weight models is a small but significant step in the evolving landscape of accessible generative AI — and it’s turned the question of “how to try big models without a GPU farm” into a practical reality for many Windows...
Microsoft’s reported decision to license Anthropic’s Claude models into Microsoft 365 — bringing them into productivity features in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook — is the most explicit signal yet that Microsoft plans to move from a single‑vendor AI stack to a multi‑model Copilot strategy...
Microsoft’s Office productivity stack is entering a new phase: after years of deep reliance on OpenAI, Microsoft will begin routing select Copilot workloads inside Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook to Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 models, creating a multi‑model Copilot that assigns the “right...
Microsoft’s productivity stack is entering a new, more plural era: after years of deep integration with OpenAI’s models, Microsoft is reported to be adding Anthropic’s Claude — specifically the Sonnet model family — into Office 365’s Copilot workflows, creating a multi‑model orchestration that...
Microsoft’s Office productivity stack is entering a deliberate, workload‑focused transformation: Redmond will begin routing select Copilot and Office 365 features to Anthropic’s Claude models — notably the Sonnet 4 family — alongside continued use of OpenAI and Microsoft’s own models, a...
Microsoft has quietly begun the most consequential recalibration of its productivity‑AI stack since Copilot’s debut: Office 365 will now route select Copilot workloads to Anthropic’s Claude family—most notably the Sonnet 4 lineage—alongside continued use of OpenAI models and Microsoft’s own...
Microsoft’s Office 365 product line is poised for a material AI shift: sources say Redmond will begin routing certain Copilot and Office features to Anthropic’s Claude models — notably the Sonnet 4 family — alongside continued use of OpenAI and Microsoft’s own models, a move that reflects both...

OpenAI’s decision to publish high‑quality, open‑weight language models has suddenly reframed its relationship with Microsoft — shifting what until recently felt like a settled strategic partnership into a contested terrain of contracts, cloud economics, and platform control. The company’s...
Microsoft’s recent narrative — that an AI-first Azure is building an unassailable moat while Windows 11 becomes an “AI platform” — is both materially true and rhetorically optimistic; the data underpinning the claim is strong, but the timeline and some headline figures in the popular bull case...
Microsoft’s announcement that it has launched its own in-house AI models represents a strategic turning point: the company is no longer just a primary host and commercial partner for OpenAI — it is actively building the foundation for an independent, vertically integrated AI stack that could...
