Microsoft is diversifying its artificial intelligence portfolio. The multinational is committed to the use of Anthropic technology for some of the functions of its applications of Office 365, as it has made known The Information. This assumes that Anthropic’s AI will boost, together with Openai’s, new options in Word, Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint, becoming a lesser extent on the company’s offer led by Sam Altman.
Microsoft considers that Anthropic models work better for certain tasks
The decision, as reported Techcrunchwould respond to consideration, by Microsoft leaders, that the latest Anthropic models work better than OpenAI for concrete functions such as the creation of aesthetically attractive presentations. The medium mentions the Claude Sonnet 4 model.
Likewise, the search for greater diversification in artificial intelligence alliances could also be related to the strategic line taken by OpenAi to boost their own projects and products, such as the launch of a browser or the creation of an employment platform, which could compete with LinkedIn, owned by Microsoft.
However, the company does not intend to break its strategic alliance with Openai. “OpenAI will continue to be our partner in avant -garde models and maintain our long -term commitment”, Said a Microsoft spokesman to the aforementioned medium.
Throughout the last years Microsoft has erected as Openai’s largest investor, having invested more than 13,000 million dollars in the AI startup. This has allowed Microsoft to achieve a competitive advantage in the artificial intelligence career thanks to the company’s models.
Microsoft’s commitment to Anthropic does not imply the first step in the diversification of the company in the field of its ia partners. While Openai’s models are those of reference for the firm, it has also integrated Grok, of XAI, in its supply of services in the cloud of Azure Ai Foundry.
In addition, Microsoft has also overturned its efforts to try to be self -sufficient. At the end of August, its artificial intelligence division, Microsoft AI, presented its first two models created In-House: Mai-Voice-1, its first voice generation model; and Mai-1-Preview.
