Anthropic Models in Microsoft 365 Copilot – Universal.cloud Update

Microsoft 365 Copilot Gets Smarter with Anthropic Models

Good news: Microsoft 365 Copilot is now even more powerful! In addition to the trusted OpenAI models, you can now choose from Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4.1. This gives organizations more flexibility and better performance for complex tasks.

What’s New?

  • More choice: Select the AI model that best fits your task.
  • Two new top performers:
    • Claude Sonnet 4 – excels in deep analysis.
    • Claude Opus 4.1 – ideal for complex, multi-step reasoning.

Simple admin setting with big compliance impact

To enable Anthropic models like Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4.1 in Microsoft 365 Copilot, administrators must explicitly activate them in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This is not just a technical toggle — it has serious implications for compliance. Organizations must carefully consider privacy, data residency and compliance to maintain adherence to frameworks like ISO27001 and demonstrate responsible data handling.

Available In:

  • Researcher Agent: For in-depth analysis, reports, and strategies.
  • Copilot Studio: Build and manage your own AI agents with model selection per step.
